She lies in silence, spent
after the gore of the party
the meat locker of attraction
she reposes in the party dress
of dreams of the one
an ill-defined ephemeral shape
"In your arms" plays as a soundtrack
as her head massages her broken heart

Lovely Bluebird by the feeder today
Valentine's Day,
I'm over it,
lovers should not wait
for a single moment
once a year
when passion is allowed
they should kiss, daily
passionately,
lingeringly
obsessively
hungrily,
will you join me?

she is undressed,
her modesty dissolves,
his bedroom eyes
tracing her frame,
those curves,
an ancient refrain-
every kiss
a sweet soft raindrop,
every touch,
a reminder of what
love could be

Every eventuality
pitfalls and dark clouds
plan ahead,
see what’s out there.
New countries
you have yet to experience,
new sights you shouldn’t miss
before your time runs out.

The point is the
discomfort,
the reminder-
I am not free,
your drunk breath,
knived words,
steering wheel
still haunt
taunt;
The point is
I’m uncomfortable,
my momentary
peace
vanished
in whiskey
and whirlwind
texts of my failures
and your wins.
The point is
the discomfort.
