Hear me not
when I tell you it’s time to depart
for then I may have already lost
my mind to brutal whirlwinds
and scorching heat I felt since
you came with all those dangling thoughts
but who am I to force?
Abrasive you were
that now I think of me to you
like a mirror image, for we see too few
of the realities when we part ways
and too much of those platonic hard days;
our seamless match was indifference swelling:
Red Army tanks and IV needles, yes,
you can’t come in without breaking something.
