When we do not talk,
we pretend we have something to say: Something
urgent.
We
do something

different, catching the remanence
of words long dead.


I study closely,
the anatomy of your "love"
and "never".

Do you even

remember me anymore?


I swear I have forgotten,
you are now not but half a face,
partial skin,
a now rough embrace.


I drown smoothly
in the echos,
sharp edges of what was once
comfort..

It is not startling to me
when I stumble over
"unrequited" and
"alone".

Ditto what Ron said...

I always know I am going to be floored when I click on your name.

I love the title of this piece.  It really helps get the reader in the right frame of mind before diving in.  It made the piece so much more intense.  Your talent is something to be desired, but could only be delivered by your hand.

Nice Job,

Joshua

You have a way of sneaking up on the reader.

Like poetry in stocking feet.
