Just Like Kevin

A poem from 1993

Listen to an audio performance...

Home alone

silence is deafening

enjoy it while it lasts

Home alone

silence is frightening

it might last forever

Never the joy

of a good-night kiss

or a kiss

of any description

I

masochist

I

shattered

but on the mend

changing

yet the same

Time passes

I grow older

the poems remain the same

the bed is never shared

the silence is killing me
