Yesterday's sneakers
thrown into the closet,
another pair so
sound asleep
in the burrow of forgets

I truly
can't
remember
it

Not any of it really,
not the whispers,
or the land, or the
hands of
nonparticular
boys

I lick my lips
to find
the taste
all gone and only
flesh
that's dry and
sore

As you can see I wrote this quite a while ago. I just found it in a pile of papers. I think that I had abandoned it for a while to see if something would come. I think I like it the way it is though.

the faeries creep into my hair at night leaving it in terrible knots

I really enjoyed this poem and I agree it is a complete piece of work.

Glad you found it, and thank you for sharing
