as my friend fell in love #52

--As my friend fell in love #52--


As my friend fell in love 
with machines. Merging 
inanimate with man, 
I was obliged to fill the composite
with reams of poetry. 
Now she stands on a corner 
composing aloud poems of love, 
trees, grass, and peoples happiness.
Do you forgive? Your killer
won't fight, she respects 
the purely living.
   I see you have,as the glow of 
love fills your eyes 
with tears.
