the cattails sway slow
resin sun settles down deep
she has blazed all day
moon in silver comes
knocking at my back window
dig his Elvis suit
then E Piaf croons
tears brim in my tired eyes
never did i miss
you so much as i
do now even with all of
our misunderstood
way of saying words
to drive each other away
fearing that our hearts
would be ripped apart
by anemic attempts to
share a normal life
you the older one
did not necessarily
know best i was young
i did not know that
fucking my way through real love
in time would never
heal our broken parts
still not all was a failure
truth and wine reveal
words less spoken 
— love the Edith Piaf reference– it makes perfect sense in the poem and I could hear her singing as I read your words.

I first heard Edith Piaf at a party I went to many years ago it was on someones mixed tape and I asked who it was. I then listened to all the recordings I could find and read all about her. She has an iconic voice one that says in the memory. You have a lot to share with others through your blog– perhaps this will inspire more Piaf fans 😀
