ALL I HAVE TO DO

                          revision of a poem written
                                in 1985 -- found 27 years later


All I have to do is
smell your hair in autumn, 
flame red wet leaves falling
and rain smeary windows,
these white stucco walls 
and oaken floors that groan, 
blue jazz all night kicking 
cigarettes, sipping
Seagrams and 7 
so I feel it all waiting 
for you.
