So too will you ; In Times of Gemini
“If I am to be honest
I love you.
Even Still.
Always and Absolutely.
How could I not?
You were me and I were you.
Can’t you see, my love?
When I bleed,
So too
Will you,
In these trying times
of Gemini…
But I will go into that darkness alone.
I now know that my journey was not meant for two
At the time,
I thought, maybe…
You
Perhaps
Perhaps
And you were!
at that Twinning Summer Time.
You were meant specifically for me;
A specific time in fixed-frame
for future memory.
There is no doubt about it.
It was as if provenance dictated it so.
I dreamt of you even.
I dreamed of you and that place
Even before we met
On that strange-salad kind of day.
So tell me
Tell me
Tell me what
it
all
meant
Now that we have left one another
Bone-Broken and Bereft…
There must be more,
More to this story
Tell me
Tell me
Tell me True
Maybe…
Maybe that’s all that was meant to be?
That painful Acknowledgement
of Limits and Follies
Just a Slice
A Knife
And a cold-cut plunge
into that dark expanse;
an exposure of water-wounds
drifting up to the shore
To be collected only
after the wreckage
And The Fall…
And Ohhh…
How we fell
How we fell…
Blood dripping,
Crying all the while
In a sharp nosedive
downward spiral
In those trying times
of Gemini ♊️
And still
Even now
I love you.
I love you. I love you…
Do you know?
You MUST know this
I need you to know
Why is that?
Why?
But sadly,
I do know.
And
it is
all
in vain.
La di dah
La di dah
Until a new song
Decides to play.”

- After work at Legends in Morro Bay with Lenny and her new beau Joseph, the cheeky Irish bartender from Brooklyn. Now, in my chair near the electric fireplace, thinking of You.
