Reminiscing

Its been so long since Ive been on the blog. I got lost in the sauce and have found my way back. Organically inconsistent and naturally persistent, a mix i couldn't dream up if I tried, lol. This is a poem equally as ancient as my last post, about unrequited "love" or whatever you call it. Enjoy -

Lay me down in a bed of roses

Call me beautiful a dozen times

As lovely as it is there is still an emptiness

In my spine ---

Pieces of my fortress missing

We shared something in common once

But i won't go rummaging and digging

Instead,

I hope that footprints of our memories

Will find their way home

and last

Just a second longer than they did in my bones
