To Greyson Loving San Bernadino

I sit so alone in this cold hell,  No lamp to light, no stove to stoke, Will they come and ask me again: “Why?  How?  Who?  When?” “Okay.  It’s as I have said:   I was visited!” “ ‘Twas the Queen of Hearts, She was on Her way by, stopped in for cuppa’ and as the conversation turned to that Greyson, she suggested that today he may not go away, and if he stayed would never leave the hallowed hills of our San Francisco where he found his soul those many months ago, and this prime premonition, this simple admission from such a considerate Royal, led my troubled mind to rebuff all his goodbyes - those soft adieus  whose petals fell gently upon this pallid visage of a man whose life had been upside down since his plan to leave town ended that season of bliss – Come hither, heed this!” … They were told: “I had been visited. And that after tea, it had occurred to me, you would never be leaving again.” As for the knife: I shun the gun, And find its cold Steel much more fun, And far more personal,                                      Greyson.
