14.8.10

a life.







"Am I dreaming?"

"No, you're awake now"
"You'd left, left me, left our city. You took a train to Tokyo"
"I don't plan to go, haven't thought much about Tokyo.  Haven't thought much about anyone, anywhere, for that matter"
"Oh"

I am empty. I am listless.
an emphatic denial.
You'll heal, 
They'll be no need for me to lick your wounds.  
They'll be no need for me to dream a life.
The equivalent to fools gold.
and, left the fool,
I'd wait for you in every city.
You'll never show, You'll never shine.
You'll find another to collect the goods I waited years to savour.
Languid in my lowliness.
I am empty. I am listless.
