Kathi K.— Copyright 1965-2008 by Dennis Gallagher —
Confusion’s growing, just where my senses said …
Her feelings, her children, her husband, her law school,
her passion, her family, herself, and me.
The lack of conscious choice leads us
and our honesty into ever narrower passages
I truly care for her and, if she were free, I would love her;
her mind, her passion, her company are excellent …
but so much reality … so many lives … many she loves
and all of whom need her love … stand in the way.
And she … she just wants to let it happen ‘naturally…’
She’s honest and naive in such proportions I cannot grasp her.
I feel it all short lived … too finely balanced …
if she continues in a hurry.
Her problems are much more complex than mine ever were
and her approach less cautious
My eyes get bigger as we continue … and I hold myself
for once she told me I judged her too soon … far too soon.
Events are running … time’s running … she’s moving
school’s starting … Nichol’s ending …
and now she wants to go to Colorado with me
and she tells Chuck after Chuck’s displayed jealousy towards me
and she wants to mix Amy and Danny when Danny knows
she’s a girlfriend of mine … Lord!…
And she talks good philosophy
and has passion as good as I’ve seen
and she’s easy to be with and likes me
Lord … look out world … just look out world.

Tuesday, June 6th, 1978The animal undersides … the essential being …— Copyright 1965-2008 by Dennis Gallagher —
the presence … unleashed, beyond words
the bottom line of another person’s spirit.
Somewhere west of psychology
and south of LSD
and east of Honesty
and north of Love
are we … we, when all is said and done
She’s shown me now, this place in her
and its much, much more than I would’ve believed.
Simple Irishman … always jumping in over your head
I hope you’re up to her friendship, … you asked.

Tuesday, June 6th, 1978The lady’s more than I thought … much more— Copyright 1965-2008 by Dennis Gallagher —
where she led me breathless thru her smiles
I now stand amazed at the power of her animal
She’s good at being a lady and smiling …
but underneath … underneath she’s a strong woman.
I asked to be her lover/friend … best friend, even
and she responded
by shedding her poise for her natural power
by shedding her polite remarks for looking at me and seeing
We played the eyes game of open sharing again
that I had taught her
and this time it was I who wavered … lord
her native power … so well socialized,
she’s not sure of it as an asset, yet.
Her shoulds vie against her wants … silent struggle
beneath her poise and professional demeanor
Only her brown eyes give her away …
they rage with potential … and confusion and power
I hope my ego is up to being her friend
I’ve found much more than I expected …
its going to test my power to accept …
openly, another.
