I just reread a
manuscript of poems I had
submitted last month
these poems are some
of my dearest friends in that
they truly know me
it was as if they
came for a visit on a
sunny afternoon
to sit on the porch
in the adirondack chairs
drinking lemonade
picking up right where
we last left off before in
our conversation
so casually
comfortable to finish each
others’ sentences
these poems are
my dear friends who know me well
and I so know them
