type-written letters
safely placed in a three-ring binder
it is almost like having you here
your rasping voice insisting
i please consider your few minor
changes in my lines followed
most often by your asking me not to be angry with you please

i am sure you were sure
i never listened to you-
my mentor and friend for so many years
but i learned more about writing poetry
from you than you will ever know
mostly because your sudden passing
robbed me of the chance to tell you
just exactly how i felt
