Notes About The Poem

reheating nachos

Peter (my bf) and I are keeping it modest, practicing the art of the small things. Among our repertoire of pleasures are simple conversations, after long, exhaustive school days, in non-technical language.

Shall we wax poetic-ish?

Ever, my heart had blazed as if branded by fire.

Then love finally arrived to sweetly quench that unseen, smoldering blaze..

Fate, for a while, like scissors, came between us.
But having thus far proceeded, I did sorely miss the confections of closeness.

So, I shamelessly plotted to conjure sordid-reunions.

You may damn the force of my weaknesses and think me devilish,
but I am, after all, a living, female thing.

Do I relive that awful trauma? No, living in the past is like reheating nachos.
No one wants that.

Or do we? We take so many pictures, now-a-days.
Are we sore afraid of losing our yesterdays?

Vincine Fallica October 11, 2025 at 4:28 AM I’m astonished but appreciative (as if those were mutually exclusive) you’re continuing to pen & post these pieces DESPITE the load of med. school, bf, Paris, Grandmère’ & Co., etc. . . . So, you been reading Billy Shakes recently? What’s he like in French? <3 Anais Vionet October 11, 2025 at 6:30 AM Argh! Having to read everything in French, was like having dyslexia for a few days - particularly since it's all technical - but I think I'm back into it now. I have slowed down with my postings - we'll have to see if it helps or hurts =]
