For Claudia, too

Can you keep a sad light just by
  holding (in a black&white),

as Frank held you and Dolores in
  a Japanese yard, long ago?

And the last rose, amidst the sun
                                     & arms,
  his final, his inseparable--

dear Claudia, this rather now wraps
  around you

Dear Conrad,
What a beautiful poem!
I am moved to tears.

Thank you so much,
Love,
Claudia

Indeed, a fitting tribute to a sadly neglected American poet--a situation which his daughter is diligently trying to rectify.
