Gone But Not Forgotten
Gargling with bits of
barbed wire
as I think of you
Dipping my toothbrush in
muriatic acid
before each use
I remember when
you taught me
to smile
And as I toss a handful
of thumb tacks
into my boots
before pulling them on
I recall the night
we danced
Peeling the safety cardboard
from the edges of
razor blades
I drop them into my pockets
They nestle there among the coins
They hold each other
as we once did
And now, when I reach for change,
I once again feel your touch
Yes, after all this time,
I am still crazy
for you
