-what's left- I envy you, what's left of you, past. I'm glad it didn't last, Those chewed up feelings rehashed. Stashed and lashed, I finally crashed. I like you, what's left of you, love. Don't remind me of what's just above: The insistent weight of more loss Waiting to crush, use things up; glossed dross. I hate you, what's left of you, pain. Just another old spread-out stain On sheets that burn like flame -- Oh, the day you called out my name. I miss you, what's left of you, hurt. You were always my favorite flirt. You gave me sex in every glance. Tore me apart to watch my bones dance. I love you, what's left of you, me. I don't know what it means to be free. But I'm no longer taking my songs for granted; I'll let them live with their grace, enchanted. |

Thank you, Claire. To know that not one word went unused is a great thing to say to a poet. It's twice as good coming from you. Mike |
