For Julie

 You were probably

scattered in the wind

Fitting and proper for a gypsy dancer

But I have no place to sit and mourn you

No place to lay a single white rose

No place to shed my tears


I will think of you

As I watch the waves push onto the shore

Or in a garden of trees

I think of our early days

Laughing

And lying on the cool cement of an airplane hanger

Drunk from the heat and too much sloe gin

Always laughing whenever we were together



I will try not to regret

What should have been

And rejoice what was

And is always with me.
