Poem


      TRANSIT OF VENUS - 9 -

      I picked a sprig
      of white lilac
      for her hair
      as we lay
      in that sandy cove
      then she turned
      to me - and said:
      'you know I am
      half in love with you'.
      and before
      and after we parted
      I always wondered
      just what
      the other half was
      that would have
      made up the whole.
