My old pal Lawrence. I met him while working on an old house next door to where he lived. He was 95 yo at that time and was amazing. I took this pic on his 97th birthday. He was a walking history book and a most disarming creature. He always swore to me he would live to be 100, and he did, passing at 100yrs 8 mos. in '05. I have so many interesting memories of him. I loved and miss him very much.

Red Birds Bleeding

My wrists were

Once red birds

I flew away

The red birds died

My wrists I bound

In cotton sheets

And baling twine

I flew away

The red birds died

My lips were black

Like ravens eating

Quietly feeding

The night flew down

And ate their wings

The ravens coughed

My charcoal lips

Were speaking
