*THOUGHTS OF LADY LOVE:
STANDING AT THE DOORWAY OF STAR
ASKING FROM SELF
IF I WAS

WOULD CALL ME.
IF
I WAS THE LIFE OF NARCISSUS
OR NARCISSUS AT THE DOORWAY OF STAR
WOULD THINK OF ME.
IF
IWAS THE MUSIC OF NELUFAR
OR NELUFAR AT THE DOORWAY OF STAR
WOULD PLAY ME.
THEN LADY OF LOVE
AT THE DOORWAY OF RAIN
WAS THE MUSIC OF STAR
AND STOOD
AT THE EVER DOORWAY.
