I slept with her
again last night
we screamed as we came
lit up as we crashed down
we wrote poems every day
on brown paper bags
eulogies on UB40 forms
etched love letters into our flesh
we howled like Ginsberg
nobody was listening
we screamed even louder
again last night
I slept with her
we came as we screamed
it was just as good as the first time
when I woke up
my leather jacket was gone
the Drum tobacco pouch, emptied out
she'd even ripped off the $2 lighter
ReplyDeletethe throbbing of an exoheart
is all that remains in the air
behind me when she goes
and a drowsy numbness
like a beach at low tide
tears at the ebb side
dawn with seagulls I wake
the wind has picked up
some things missing
Ah dear Rob - what a perfect sequel!
