Pseudonym


Give me a few days of peace 

In your arms Sephine

I need them

As I am ragged 

Worn and quite exhausted

I will sleep soundly on your pale breasts 

And if by any chance

I wake up 

I will know know then 

That I am ready to face the world

Joe 

Why did you call this poem 

Miller/Miller 

It is a strange title 

For two reasons 

Firstly as you know 

The pseudonym that I sometimes use 

Is Stuart Miller which is short 

For Stuart Miller Osborne 

Regarding the poem 

Although I have changed it a little 

It originated from a letter 

That Henry Miller sent to Anais Nin 

Were they lovers 

In many ways 

But it was also a meeting of minds 

Are ewe damaged Joe 

No just wet as it is raining hard 

Would you like to rest on my breasts 

I thought you would never ask
