A Message From Jim Poem by Suki Nakamura

Dear Suki,

It's been so long now since we said hello. I don't know what's become of you and yet worry and can't help but miss your company. I wish we had started on a better foot...really I tried to be kind. I'm not sure where your kind words ended and the sarcasm began but I miss you anyway because of a feeling...one in which I was touched by a sense of longing in you, an older spirit...an injured one and still I imagined a beautiful heart underneath all. I don't forget that feeling though I try to tell myself it's no use to wish. My heart doesn't yet understand....so I still miss you and like to believe in brighter things...though it hurts much sometimes to hang on to bright hopes.

Miss you Suki, don't really know why...but it hurts tonight...a lonely one.

Jim

hello jim,

how can you be so unlike him?
i am just one of them,
so please anchor your mind
like a groping hand on some
dreamy sands.

truly yours,

suki
