One Poem by Daniel Gallik

Couple Of Good Years

She said he was tainted
with love. He said, I
only want a cup of joe
with you. Some days. I

sound great. Not very
demanding. Isn’t that
what you want? She did
not smile at him at all

and married him one yr.
later at the Anglican
church on Main. Over in
Akron. On some corner.

Not say much except have
two kids. Both out of
college. She died just
a few years afterwards.

He didn’t say goodbye
at all. He wrote short
notes to her. Like, I
had a joe with you this

day. It was cool. Nov.
gets like that. Winter
is coming my dear. I
miss your word a day.
