To my late wife

Who is Always On Time

By Paul A. MerkleyPublished 11 months ago 1 min read
Catullus 5, 'Give me a thousand kisses, then a hundred, then another thousand...'

Memories trillions

Brilliant lightning

Kisses billions

Raucous thunder

Million miles

Saucy pets

Deepest eyes

No regrets

Never lies

Eurail passes

Outside bodies

Lennon glasses

Other lifetimes

Cancer struck

Rare, sudden

Life unravelled

Little cabbage

Where are

You now?
