#nostalgia poem

[lovepowerpoetry]

berry

Berry blue memories pressed between pages of a book you gave me- unread

Stained like my carpet freshman year of college where we played spin the bottle,

just the two of us with blackberry wine on our breath

Sitting three pages apart

Refusing to kiss

Or laugh

We look at eachother that way and you just sigh

I grow old in ways now

Wanting my lovers to beg

For anything at all,

at all,

At all

Love is mourning, painful and tired

Ached over breaths on sheets

Unfurled at the edges

But tight like my fists

Knuckles brazen

Sometimes all I think about

The way you used to sigh

So we would kiss other people other times

Until it hurt so good

But you and I

We’d just sit alone in my apartment

In that corner under the stairs

Spinning green glass in the blurred light of my tv

Playing some static weather program

Snow is falling outside

I play ‘Raspberry Beret’

but you don’t know Prince

Don’t know shit else just

songs from films and punk rock

You look at me that way, like a million times before

And like a million times before I return glances

At all, we refuse to kiss or laugh or touch at all, at all

Angst is agony is sacrifice is more

And so you spend another night

Laying beside me on the floor

Writing poems about me

And emailing them to me to critique

I dye my hair about it

One of those times we play

You forget which bottle is full

And so

Your love lives vicariously through a plum colored circle on my brown carpet

Unremoveable even by dish soap

At all, permanent long after we don’t know eachother at all, at all

You used to give me books for gifts

And I would picture myself

Thumbing through the pages

In a coffee shop

waiting for someone else to sit down

Someone I love, someone else at all

Because it is easier that way

Missing you vicariously through

Never reading those books

You were one of those people

Never forgot a birthday, never forgot a moment

Pressed between lips

Three pages apart

You kiss me vicariously through

Other people

It hurts so good

At all, we don’t love eachother at all, at all

I never get my security deposit back

I never forget your birthday

I never read your books

I never think about you

At all, at all, at all

One of my favourite memories is fishing for catfish on the pier with my father. I don't think I caught more than a tree root, and when the mosquitos got too violent we went inside and watched the news.

It's sometime in the evening and I am praying bare-chested to the stairway up to my childhood bedroom, to the girl I might have been to come take my hand in hers and pull me somewhere I can hear the crickets.
