i. the final so long (awake)
she’s gone; i must move on.
we’re dead: in my head.
she’s there. i don’t care.
she laughs at epitaphs.
she jumps rainsoaked stumps.
she believes in reprieves.
she flaunts our goodbye haunts.
she’s drawn to rethink the dawn.
(and the time i spilled Coke all over her dress –
that happy thought’s stolen, i confess)
she’s made of marmalade.
sticky fingers. no serenade.

ii.existencil
and i think i took too many pills.
oh well; sometimes i will.
and sometimes their energy kills,
but i have plenty of refills.
sometimes my blood flows & flirts
with my greatest definition of revealed hurts.
all in an unknown line:
cold marbles warmed by wine.
here’s where they told me to sign.
‘cause they said i was doing just fine.

I can relate to that Mike. I loved all the definitions in the rest of the piece also. Those marmelade women are sweet but bitter at the same time....good stuff!!   ethome

~I'm fascinated with your style. I said I'd be back,...and I'm pleased that I held true to that statement. Enjoyed your twist. *Peace.
