we can create laughter

poems wear no regrets
poems are naked inside

if i could sit like
a stone angel
breathe deeply the gloom that gathers
in caves where swimmers are drawn by ancient hands,
while
desert sands destroy lofty footsteps
and death mocks us, laughing

it is i who rain

what is left of you, what is left of me?

Those last lines as questions pose the thing for readers to ponder and especially with your author notes there. It has a soft sting to the words here.
