Erin Beckett Poet Rhyme

Kurt Cobain

I was there,
I saw that brick alley      
where brick by brick I walked with him
beneath a stone bridge,
to a carved-out tree 
that Summer in Prague, and kissed.

All I think about now 
is Kurt Cobain,                   
what it feels like to trace that last edge,
while an animal inside me screams
without pain,
just release.

I wanna split from that world
where people don't stop 
to look at women selling flowers 
while they drive to work, clocks
are ticking. Who needs them?

Because I can tell time 
by the way painted nails 
sparkle in the Sun on Sundays, 
where I saw green but you saw red. 
Maybe there's somewhere we could run..
Maybe someday

we'll look back on these as best of times,
because we found happiness in nothing.
