Nature and Human Nature, a Collage
Today's poem first appeared on the blog in 2013.
A reader asks if I have found a publisher for my next volume of poems, especially given that I have had to self-publish in the past because no publishers wanted the gay input. Well,no, I haven't, but am not really looking at the moment, as I still have not made up my mind whether or not to just self-publish a few hundred volumes and put the collection on-line at a later date. The same reader asks, "Why bother as your poems are on the blogs anyway?" While not apprehensive about the possibility of dying (it has to happen sometime, after all) I have to be pragmatic about life expectancy given that I will be 75 later this year and have been living with prostate cancer, along with other health issues, since 2011. I doubt whether Google will keep my blogs for long after my demise, and I want people to be able to continue accessing my poems. Should the Grim Reaper come calling before I am ready, a close friend has said he will see to it that my poetry collections go online.
Meanwhile ...
Stars, all eyes on our 'betters'
Darkness, mind over matter;
Sleep, rescue from human freefall
