A Moment in Poetry: BE WELL

Be Well



The emptiness
Fills me

Relational ambiguity
Leaving behind
Bloodless stains
Where heart’s use to be

Remnants

Like pages blown in the wind
From a loose leaf

Or was this just
One of those
Memorex
Pipe dreams

As I hear Biggie say
It was all a dream

I remember how
I don’t
Didn’t
Want it to be

In the ashes
I breathe

Lick the decay
From the flames of
Love and intimacy

I hear the chants of
Who you with?

As I smirk and laugh
Turn back the dial to
That Big Evil thing
