               Copying the poems and letters
               Kathy wrote me in 1979 and 1980,
               I realized just how strongly
               she loved me.
               We were both blind with lovers
               and goals and passion, then.
               She was so much like me
               in female form
               that I could never
               trust her completely.
               Now the years have passed
               and our paths have crossed again
               and, reading these things here,
               I see what kin and love were there.
               My fantasies run now; her and Rose,
               how...how can they both be in my life?
               I want to say,
               'Kathy, come, I see now what you were,
               I should not have let you go...'
               But my family comes before my eyes.
               Love is joy and agony, both.
               If I could have it as I wish
               I'd have them both...in two houses or one.
               I can love two, it's never been at doubt
               but...could such a thing work....
                                    gallagher
