bandit.
...and what are the words one uses to describe a compilation?, works from my entire life?, fifty years of carrying around a yellow pad?, fifty years of writing and rewriting, changing the words, as their meanings change for me?

where are you,
thief of hearts?
where have you gone?
no parting word,
no last kiss,
you stole my spirit,
and now i miss you for it.
