Deep into that darkness peering, 

long I stood there wondering, fearing,doubting, 

dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;
But the silence was unbroken, 

and the darkness gave no token,
And the only word there spoken was 

the whispered word, `Lenore!'
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, `Lenore!'
Merely this and nothing more.  

POE

The Human Remains

somewhere inside of us

A shell that contains

somewhere that part of us

The bodily crust

Submerging lust

Love- are you kidding?- you must

the Human remains inside of us

dense milt 1979.

The world of right is black or white

So says the blonde known as Miss Grey

Remembering a rendezvous she had that day a deja vu-

What a way to live

dense milt 1982

Some people never leave.  

Their presence so strong that we need only to pause, 

and they are beside us, inside us, all around us

within us.   

And so it is with Lenore.  

I can hear you laughing. 

the unmistakeable cackle

Chortle and glint in your wink

Still breathing, still fighting for what is right

In a world of wrongs,

You the trailblazer, 

the visionary outsider

enfant troublemaker

supreme shitdisturber 

libel loving Lenore

uncensored when provoked

Her mission to seek out 

new forms of life, art, love

new words,

new visions

she boldly goes where no man has gone before

and no woman either

this spirit mother

mushroom shaman witch doctor

Conjuror of video visions

never fading to black

Only to Grey

Miss you, Miss Grey
