Barry Trembetzky Biography

Amongst the tulips
I sit in solemn splendor
The roar of the falls
billowing its breath
...

Mom turned off the lights
She whispered to us to keep quiet
while someone pounded on the door
Dad was late paying the rent again
...

When I arrived that summer
I could not run up the hill
without stopping to catch my breath
At the top of the hill was a log cabin
...

When I go to bed
I hear her sweet voice
I smell her heavenly scent
I taste the delicious remnants
...

I had a first date last night
It was with a woman I had met in Berkeley
We had a delightful dinner in nearby Oakland
This first date was unlike any other
