how to forget someone

 a bottle

of Jim Beam

a pack

of cigarettes

Jim Morrison, B B King

& Eric Clapton,

a balcony

a chair

and a night

just

like you,

dark and windy

no moon

no stars,

time stretched out

like

an impassable tunnel,

Perhaps, I almost heard

someone laugh

perhaps, I almost touched

a hand,

perhaps, I almost smelt

rain, your body

and finally

perhaps, I almost felt

your breasts,

your words & my death

in a balcony

of still leaves, eyes

gone blind

with smoke and moisture

and of a love

that never was …

spinning and falling

to the ground

with

a bottle

of Jim Beam

a pack

of cigarettes

Jim Morrison, B B King

& Eric Clapton,

and 'you'

like a pulsating dagger

in my heart!
