For Maggie

For Maggie
(. . . or where did you leave my sissy?)

Self-appointed poets
baring your soles,
professing sensitivity.
is it love and trust
that urges you to
unleash your fantasies
or need?

Need for instant intimacy
touching others only
with your words
and not
your life.

Intimacy that last until
the page is turned.

29 April 1976
