Another Picture Of You. by Dah

Eternity, the line between

sky and sea,

waves gripping the air

a fog bank tortured by light

To know that somewhere

the wind blows for you

as it does for me

I must remember this

With emotions hammered

to pulp

a need to be happy trails

a lack of discontent

The mistakes we’d made

were nothing but

shameful habits

of bitter words  

You were who you were

that first night

already

frustrated, irritated, angry

Still, we danced to Romeo Void

eyes locked

in the din of a club, singing:

I might like you better if we slept together

the blissful flavor of our kisses

only because

we couldn’t find the breath

to say No

Eternity is a strange fracture

always breaking

before one reaches the line

the mood variations, another farewell
