I ordered pizza while I clipped my fingernails. My thoughts sailed, out of time and reason, hiding in special corners of you. I leaned back into the sofa, flat-footed, seated, drinking a soda. Through the windows beamed the warm sun, was there pink in the sky? Certainly looked it. I purposely hit call to hear your voice but all I got were the eerie chords of a missed conversation. Then out of the blue, I could have sworn I heard you. But it was just your stupid voicemail. Of course you weren’t there, the worst situation I’ve ever been placed in, I can’t face it. My train of thought derails, jolts, reeks, and my knees are frail. Where are my keys, fuck it, I’ve failed once again; my old friend. Peanut, tell me all your secrets and then please don’t feel bad if I can’t, won’t, don’t find the right words to say right away. Forgive me, love.
The Details
The place, the internal scenario, the sky seen, the voice imagined...all conspire to reach the forgiveness and the questions. What did you do? Your voice is yours and clear which is rare. I liked that ~~A~~
