I never write alone

again we meet mon amie
though i have never seen your face......
we never gather in places like that
rather the foggy steam rooms of fantasia
in the wet mirrors that cannot reflect,
we meet nonetheless, share a basket
of acorns that we know will become
the towering words that sway in the wind but never break
we bounce creations off molecules of water
and I am always grateful for your company,
together we ink reflections that will never
evaporate, dry up dusty on the tongue
you and I are long on the trail, long in the tooth
our sentences will stagger forever like cowboy zombies
like the ghosts of Grey and Mc Murtry, like Albee
and me walking hand in hand, cousins long lost
and I will write it all down on my note pad
and put in a pile of words that beg to be released
and one day when you come again, whisper in my ear,"it's time"
I will post them on Studio 8, and take all the credit
