DEAD AT 46 —

an apparent suicide
but I wasn't there when
she drowned in the lake

and I wasn't there
before that either

Kate was 25 when we met
funny, strong and sometimes
lovely she was hard to handle

I slept next to her once
she was hot and cold all night

pain and beauty in her wake

a tenacious
strong swimmer

Suspended children
flee a building burning permanent
persuaded and dissuaded
out of the dank
into the fray
weeping and
waving
in vain.
