Click hereacross legions of cheap shots and ash
collecting dirty looks
and second-hand smoke
like small scars
like a scratch
these are the places you refused to drink
the streets you hated to walk down
the bitumen i stumble home on
linked with the wrong arm
some nights the seaward wind
blows in too many directions
and all the places where we kissed
or stopped to hold each other at traffic lights
whistle hollow now
like muddled glass hollow
greasy plate hollow
unanswered call hollow
hollow like a lie
and lies no worse than yours
or mine
are told here
it’s easy to lose things leaning out over a bar
it starts with the tongue
brushes against the thigh
and leaves in the morning
despite your disapproval
i think you would like it here
the non-committal twang in every order
the way they wipe the tables so clean after meals

WickedEveover 15 years agoHmm, you just joined this month. I wonder where you came from. I wonder why your poetry is <i>here</i>. It's excellent. Love the repetition of hollow.
