Poem for Jack

Do You Believe?
Fate could twist, twice
For those who had the nerve
To deem?

There’s a moment, now, in meeting
Where fate goes out the door
And free will sets in:
Do we follow?

My heart’s been laid to devil’s den
Tears have spilled
On flaxen sheets.

Your heart’s been laid in vixen’s hand
Squeezed and torn
In heaven’s shame.

Do you believe
Such a twist of fate could bring
Something new, and of
Another name?

There are moments, now, in knowing you
Where I think I may
Just suppose…

So tell me, dear:

Do you believe?
…and Thank you!
For taking a chance
With me.
