	Fear
	Beer
	Mere 
	Here


Now 
		she is not frightened of
	beer 
		that smell he spat …
	Mere
		defense of her self then and she
		says: I am more of a wine person
	Here


		They 
		are what she stands for
Now
		helping others
	Mere
		goodwill toward Earth
		A peaceful life
	Here


	We 
	walk around the lake and
	she
	speaks of life’s liberty and 
Now
	we've furnished the room in the attic and
	for years, we stay right 
Here

Things that have been lost

In old bookstores and smoke-filled pubs
I find out about things that have been lost
and slowly learn what some still have
and what they miss.

I lie in bed and
stare at naked feet down at the end
they seem like father’s which I never wanna have

I recall the smell of summer rain on needles
from pines in lands behind the curtain
Or I am anxious to travel back

Sometimes I hear again
the neatly crafted song
with lines that hint
Defiance

In a writing workshop, the prompt was a poem by Yehuda Amichai. I borrowed the title and the second line.

Saint Valentine
