a note of thanks

 

 

 

 

 

 

i raised my right hand

to show all the
centuries marked
in blistered skin,

and swore

loneliness –

 

 

 

 

 

clay hours later

you

checked my
moon on the
calendar and
filled it with

     white

       words.

 

 

 

 

 

i had always

worn this season

hidden behind

my left breast -

thank you

for the

tinsel.

for Kevin

since it's Christmas and I was in a very happy mood

complicated story as to why. 

Though I certainly hope he knows what I'm talking about * looks anxious *

 

It might seem pathetic to actually dedicate this to you, but thank you. Technically it wasn't much, but it was exactly what I wanted on this Christmas, and I really needed it.

 

I have missed you.

    Wow, Diana, I should be thanking you for this poem. It is beyond beautiful. I'm in love with it, I'm going to bookmark it so don't dare delete it . I'm sorry that I have disconnected myself from you and my other friends... but I am glad that we are speaking again, I have missed you too.
