Friends (first-time poetry submission)

Putty in my hands, moulded clay,

Something you have that’s been thrown away,

Typers, writers, cigarette lighters,

Bottlecaps, ciders, broken ash-tray,

Bodyweight in my backpack, one pair of shoes,

Forks in the road, Single file ques,

Apples and pears, far from ripened,

Picked off the stalk, heartbreak heightened.

---

Together but without the labels,

Body oils on bedside tables,

No strings, bed springs, late night wings,

Just a fling,

sought appraisal,

Invisible ink etched under eyelids,

Perfect smile, cruel reminders,

Golden hoops left behind,

What could have been,

Never mind.

---

Medication, time prescribed,

Bitterness pushed aside,

Objective Respected,

Self-reflective,

Maturity, Perspective; Identified,

Nothing wrong with short and sweet,

Sugar lump, a tasty treat,

Flesh wounds healed, just the scar,

You crossed my path back there,

Maybe again,

Maybe not,

I don’t know,

I won’t look that far.
