3394. RUTH CARRADINE

RUTH CARRADINE
...As biblical as they come, your righteous form
will drop me dead, you and your picnic lunch on 
an oceanfront rock, some ancient boulder-stone 
from aeons past you never recognize. Sitting there 
like some half-reserved yet deadly stupid diva 
gazing out to sea : the dividing line drawn between 
you and me. I'll never have the courage to lose 
this last reserve I'm keeping. Absence makes the
heart grow longer; fat muscle, doomed-pulser
to the sun and stars above.
