funny poem

give me
often i think of the beautiful town
when sea-winds pierced our solitudes
sitting in his rocker waiting for your tea
gingham dog and the calico cat
look out upon the stars, my love
i fill this cup
one by one, like leaves from a tree
my mother twines me roses wet with dew
moonlight deep and tender
i loved a woman
friend, whose smile has come to be
to some the fat gods
be patient, life, when love is at the gate
