three confessions

confession:
          I am accelerating
          this destruction (world-
                              filled) sorrow

(mother w/ colon
          cancer, B-more lover making
                              "Indy" films)

confession:
          I started again
          substituting one (1) add-
                              iction for one (2

men covering streets
          in hot tar) sky
                              Sunday-blue

confession:
          I am collecting mine
          & waiting for (& still waiting)
                              for winter.
