Goodbye..?
Since I’ve gone,
you have
done nothing.
Nothing through
the letterbox.
Why?
Have you stopped watching films,
or was it just
(in recent time)
a false contact point
for us to connect?
For us to re-begin..?
KNOCK KNOCK.
You see…
I don’t need a website,
or a falsehood
of literary contritions
and best-intentioned
“off” submissions
to feel
even
slightly
close.
A vex.
But not worried.
Or concerned by those original choices
in confusion,
irrationally chose(n).
I have discussed
with you both
the importance of TRUTH,
on many occasions,
and the absence of
youth -
like
OIL,
like
sound,
like the hardening
of hearts
as we
HAVE to admit
that
we will only ever
be together
in the far distant,
awful future -
never arriving,
and always
accompanied
by that
funeral sound.
