Quoting TREVANIAN Finally*

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Confession is good

for the spirit.

It empties the soul,

making room

for more sin

***

The lowly moth dreams

of possessing the moon

***

I pity anyone

scarred by the acid

of provincial gossip

***

TREVANIAN

The Summer of Katya

*

I first read Trevanian

forty years ago

thoroughly enjoying

"The Loo Sanction"

I didn't read him again

until last week:

shame on me
