In Memoriam




I look back and I see
a graveyard
of memories
like so many Bats in the night;
rock Lizards at high noon
don't (just) Rest In Peace.


Can't say
I write this in jilted love
there are no memories
of her gifting
anything but girlish baubles
not even a (I) misd (you) call at midnight.


Can't say
I write this in angst
mea culpa, mea culpa
my anger's implosive
the adult in me chasing 
an adolescence that died.


In memoriam
love is a four letter word
Oh, also a memoir of memories
that don't rest in peace,
O, that I could be in school again,
with a rubber eraser that cleans.


All feedback is welcome, metre or mile, feet or kilometre...
