Lost by Mike Zone

Lost

you still love me
this I know

possibly wearing tiger’s eye and onyx swiped from nocturnal transcendent carnal wandering
crashing into dawn mid-morning meditations

maybe a certain skull and crossbones scarf paired with an obnoxious trademark beanie

perhaps skimming books left behind

regardless of insight gained
it’s not a tragedy until someone cries and it’s most definitely not a comedy until somebody dies

meanwhile…
just here
removing
most the traces of you
bagged in a closet
to keep my sanity intact
