To My Husband Gone But Not Forgotten
Underneath the earth you lie
Unable to see Bay Area fog nor sky.
Forty full years undergound,
Unable to hear any sound?
Or see a smile?
You loved life with a passion!
And such an adventurous soul,
my dear husband, you.
You brought mirth wherever you went.
Spreading your soul's glittering confetti!
You dreamt more than most men ever do,
Far exceeding "making it in the world."
I, your wife, has far out written and outlived you.
The famous author, you longed to be.
How terribly sad, such irony.
You left this earth four decades ago.
And those of us who knew you~
We all loved you so!
After all, you were our beloved amigo!
You remain forever inscribed on my soul.
And as for our adventurous life together,
"Il mio, uomo!"
