Reflections on life

silence withdrawing I sit immersed in memories

big yellow moon brushes the horizon autumn night

nervous alcoholic shoplifts non-alcoholic beer

Feathers in the wind those words you can never take back

staring at my reflection only six inches away the longer I look the more it seems I am always out of reach

send me your picture   the one where you were smiling  in the piazza   I need to remember-  that you were once human
