as the universe expands: the speed with which nebulae recede increases with their distance from the observer

. . . . . . . . . . . and i dream 

. . . . . . . . is it another 

. . . . life i need to 

lead - the essence 

palpable - you are in it 

i often forget you are 

married and our boy 

is gone by your hands 

or was it mine - even 

in my dreams we fight 

your god of grace my 

god of works - and what 

does hubble and curly 

hair have to do with it 

all - the litigator i am 

knows better than to 

dredge up a past where 

we both are guilty of life 

or lack of it
