haven't contained
i have only lost
haven't obtained
i have only lost
haven't gained
i have only lost
haven't won
I have only lost
haven't utilized
I have only lost

My sense of loss is great
greater than mankind
womankind
humankind
or for those kind,
womyn kind

Greater than a sense
beyond a thought
drawn pathways
passage doors
over looking streets
 from Milstein to Babies

Loss,
its what I have,
Lack,
its what I cherish
Loss,
its what I have earned
and learned, but,
certainly, I have not
yearned

Loss, my beauty,
is in my eyes
a reflection of you
but you are not there
but gone
as a wish
blown in the wind...
