Looking for
something else
I found an old photo—
What a trick
it would be to slip
back into life,
especially
my own.
.
Oh that a want
would just come
when called,
like an obedient dog,
not some
senile, pissy cat.
.
Or was it I
was meant to sit
and stay?
The whole time
I thought I was
out there taming things.
.
This air is just too stale
for remembering—
the sky loosing
its gloss to dusk,
the streetlamps
illumining,
another day
closing like a door.
Damn good!

Er, I know that wasn’t very deep. Just an honest reaction. Damn good! Go a couple days without reading one of your poems, it’s always good to get back here and find one.

“Oh that a want / would just come / when called…” I, too, wish it were so, but lately it seems that even my dogs ignore my pleas. 🙂
