Life With Marie
She was delightful, calming,
Liberating and freshening to be with—
But for every exciting delight he took in her
He paid a debilitating price in guilt and apprehension.
But just so fine and fiery was she,
She made the colorless world
Seem ever drabber, even more dilute
When she was gone.

Guillotine Chat
I might like all of my lovers
To come back like ghosts for a visit,
But one at a time, please!
I wouldn't want them all to get together
Like jaded executioners for a guillotine chat.
