For Aged Men

Then Came A Time To Build My Shattered Life. I Had My Legal Work Of Course But That Was Not Enough. I Rafted For A Week Down Colorado River Rapids. The Scenes And Feelings Evoked There Gave Birth To River Poems Presented Here. At That Time Too I Wanted Back The Home Life I’D Abandoned Recklessly. The Love Poems Written At That Time Reflect The Hopes And Fears And Turmoil Driving Me. I Also In Those Years Wrote Legal Articles That Most Properly Have Since Been Long Forgotten And Ignored.. I Then Remarried And My Inner Fears And Problems Vanished For A While. I Never Wrote More Poetry. The Ones Presented Here Were Packed Away And Not Looked At Again. They Now Are Resurrected As A Tribute To Those Days Of Insecurity And Fear.
