Waltzing with the Devil
Bidding farewell to my movie star friends I say
It�s too stressful.
Farewell for awhile
only for awhile.
I cannot go on like this
getting my heartbeat up over your foibles
and faces
to get into your graces and stay there
a Stairmaster
always uphill.
Your handkerchief flutters
my handkerchief flutters.
To gasp for breath at the bidding�s end
all wreck and rib
unrelieved, still alone
inconceivably more unsuccessful:
Au revoir
SOS
SOS
my dear not goodbye.
