last

by joel abel - Taurus

this is the first thing 
i have written since our
chance encounter and our
crazy last kiss and all the 
wicked normality that
made it all seem unreal
the next day on the 
telephone 

everything i said about
you has come true
over the last two years
and i have to wonder if
i caused that
were my words a 
blueprint i layed out
for your slow death
by alcohol?

and why do i miss
the hate i have lost for you?
and is this lonely night
and these crazy words enough
to say goodbye?

and does your eulogy
include me?
if so, then this crazy 
death poem is for
both of us
because that last
kiss felt like something
unbound and alien
and forever lost.
a last message
from planet to planet
your world to mine
the radios and televisions
and airplanes went silent
and we said goodbye.
