(Watkins & Shulman, 2008)
i want to laugh but i am tearing
out my hair/heart with adrienne
gone
how can you leave, o goddess of the deep?
when my wife was in the hospital i tried
to read you to her but it was too rough and wrangle
and she needed peace
now what i need is you, hope you can be
an ancestress blessing us
we sure need some of your
can-must-will in this time of freefalling:
steady on, adrienne, goddess of all
(no foolin)
Lovely poem!
