Love's Letter To Me
This is the last time I mention you
by name, the last time I
bother, so I'm asking you the last time
like yesterday or the day before and before that,
court me and wrap me in your blanket
like the pigeon on your roof that, poor thing,
shivered to death, victim of your negligence.
This is the last time I catch
your attention, last time I whisper in your ear
and knock on your steel heart, Stop
leaving me stranded on the highway, or
under the bridge, I swear this is the last time
I skulk under your skin looking for
you, lost in your swamp.
