Sustenance

he has fed you
with poems
you do not understand

but you shall still savor
his lines, drink his
metaphors

for it means, that though
you are at times hungry,
you have still his poems

my being hungered.

for his poems.

but the poems were not mine to own.


he nonchalantly handed me, slips of conversation...then summed me up in a phrase.

i did not have to close my eyes.

to visualize...

him, as he notched a line in his bedpost - minuscule.


so my being famished.

for his poems - that were never there.

and his transient stay...

with a bitter aftertaste...

i deem.

he was never there.

funny how everything sometimes rests, in a poem.
