Lastings

The last letter you wrote me, Still stapled to my heart... The taste of your last lip gloss When I last kissed you... Still flavor my lips The last words exchanged, Still echo in my mind... My last vision of you... Burned into my memory... Come, see my "etchings"... Once more... The woman I miss, The one I adore Time has swept you away, Time allows you no more, Time keeps you away, From my open front door... Other worlds we now inhabit, One for tortoise, One for rabbit, I might as well, Be on Europa's Violent , turbulent surface, As here in need, Of some kind of purpose.
