now is the sunset across the city of queens. i contemplate the fiery end of a day and think of my friend CB who is busy dying from cancer. there will be a great loss of sunshine as she passes, for she is a beautiful redhead a temptress and a true believer. her heart has been tried and found pure gold. her love is unconditional. she has been a true friend to this old queen, welcoming and honest"you need to go now" and i will go on. singing the praise of a woman, a goddess, and maybe even a saint. pass on, sistah, ease and comfort be your companions, you live in my heart, namaste,goldenrod.
