After Frank O'Hara

 FOR KIM

(After Frank O’Hara)

I would write you a letter, yes old school,

                                                            if

I knew your address

in the darkness of sadness,

                                                         but

You left only a date

in my journals, a wistful dismissive

                                                        ending

So, I’ll write that letter on this sidewalk,

among the dirt and grit of loneliness…
