It's Okay, Mercury Was In Retrograde

Folder: 
Hambre del Alma

 

You bit your tongue when
you ate your own words
I wiped up the mess
I explained the fallout for
the gigantic bomb you set off
It was Wednesday,

we made love
and spoke of planets

 

You covered your bases,

had me read up on it

you
closed your eyes and thought I

didn't know you were pretending I was someone else

and honey you should know...

 

I faked it.

vivid, real, and perfectly

vivid, real, and perfectly delivered.  it's nice to see your strength here, an interesting counterpoint to some of your more vulnerable works.  your confidence is infectious!

Mercury In Retrograde

Laughing  I loved the nit picking you were reduced to, serve them right for forgetting to include you, in their game of make believe. Like your poem very much a good read.
