my beloved

JUST thinking of you there at TAFE class.
I did washing, bought some shoes up here.
NOW waiting for school-mate to come past,
THEN lunch with a sunday school teacher.

AND maybe some time, when all that's stopped
TO catch up with friends from my past life. ...
WAS just recognized in a shoe shop
BY one who is Lindsay(school-mate)'s wife!

OH boy, when you grow up connected,
MEMORIES they return when you come back.
I'M proud of your work with neglected
FOLK, to bring them out of "cul de sacs".

I love connecting with you dear girl,
(NOT just in our bodies but) learning
TO open ourselves, and to uncurl
FERN-like to bright love and a yearning...
