Well (And)

Well I still read your poems sometimes,

All curled and cursive

Feeling thin in my ragged hands.

And I still breathe

And I breathe the same,

Except when I exhale

It's your name that escapes.

Well I still remember

And you just forget.

Well you had all the love

And I only sentiments.

Well I still write you poems,

And you just leave epitaphs.

Well, I still remember

Well the curve of your neck,

And pale freckled skin crinking

In the corners of your laugh.

And I'm still cut from hard lines,

All steel and jade

A man of means and demands.
