Curtain

August 22, 2018 · by · in Poetry · 10 Comments

For the first time in a long time
I am thinking of you

Wondering if you too
Might have thought about me

But even so the me you spoke with
Was always my death

If you study these pages you’ll say
None of this is about me They tell only your story

Something separates us
Older and stronger than we know

Like a curtain of water, a membrane,
Ectoplasm

The irreducible boundary
Between dead and the living

Between you and I
With a savage and misunderstood past
