To what did I lose you?
when thet so called friend wrote that letter and I realized you were in jail---again! Itr was a very differen kind of realization, a mirror in me cracked and I felt a sorrow in me so deep my heart began to break my mind began to heal i began to know what is real what is true.
To what did I lose you my age? your helplessness
as you lay in my arms dying no one wanted to move with us! no one
He did he drove the car that saved your life! old Nelson
Neenie died the last of the old Nelson crew who cared
then you were in jail again and there was no one in who i could confide who knew to what Id lost you
the old dowagers the old hypocrites
dogma chaffed,froze,chaffed away any love in our minds
Yet I am yours and you are mine my son!!
Perhaps you can feel how free I've become and so we can now share a cup of tea sometime
To hell with them all
Smile for the sun smile for the chair under your arse!!
Walk tall for the legs you own are precious
Keep them on old leaves and green mosses!
