    uncomfortably bummed

    he didn't show
    the lure of my voice on the phone
    thought each word would tear through him,my siren song
    bring him near enough to touch
    kiss, after so many years what would that first kiss have been?

    it's the questions with no awnsers that leave me so deflated
    as the vernacular would have it, i am totally bummed

    the removing of him from immediate memory i find very hard
    a sliver at a time
    like how they used a razor blade to shave the garlic in "goodfellas"
    transparent slivers that dissolve when they hit the oil
    memories dissolving in the hurt
    it's a good system as Henry Hill would say

    I think the metaphors are off.

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
