Third religion

And what did she see.

Second religion

What did she say to me.

First religion

When she walked across to me.

I found myself plunged into a vortex of words, burning words, cleansing words, liberating words, and the words were all ours and it was enough that we held them in our hands…

Our Walks

Often in the evening we would walk together; I greeted at the door of 5 rue Christine by Gertrude’s staunch presence, pleasant touch of hand, well-rounded voice always ready to chuckle. Our talks and walks led us far from war paths. For generally having no ax to grind nor anyone to execute with it, we felt detached and free to wander in our own quarter where, while exercising her poodle, Basket, we naturally fell into thought and step. Basket, unleashed, ran ahead, a white blur, the ghost of a dog in the moonlit side streets:

Where ghosts and shadows mingle—

As lovers, lost when single.
