In real life (believe it or not, I do have a real life!) I am the third author on a medical/surgical nursing text that is due to be published next month. Each author got to dedicate the book to someone special. Since Jack and Ennis have been my constant companions for close to a year, and Ellery since May, I figure they deserved the honor. I just got the page proof for the front matter and here it is....pretty nice, huh?

Going back a bit to this post, Leslie, this is incredibly sweet that you dedicate the book to them.

Loved the undies David! Meanwhile until the next exciting instalment from Louise here's another poem. Sorry if it's serious but that's the mood I'm in - despite a couple of glasses of wine!! :( :(

Travelling

Ennis leaves the trailer
moving on, travelling
Jack is twice lost
Turning to bitter iron
grief and longing
Wailing round his grave
a battering rage, boxed in

The fading image
over and over recited
The same love
The same
The same
Never allowed past the fence
of memory

An old cold time
over and over recited
The same love
The same
The same
Death defied at the boundary
of knowing

Beyond Jack
a void
Better by far
to hold on
Denying the cold
the shuddering shirts
an absence
Keeping the known world
together

And if not the flesh then the
memory
Anything
But not this
changing, passing on
this travelling………..

Just a bit of western cultural trivia for y'all:

This guy's cup is burnt orange, the color of the University of Texas at Austin, and the longhorn is the University's mascot.
Peace be with y'all,
