1. regret is a thief in the night
2. i am always right about these things, even when i’m wrong
3. crescent moons, honeysuckle and humidity
converged on the cat’s meow
while hurricane kisses lingered on my tongue
4. and your voice wrapped around my spine
5. “welcome to the quarter chere,” you whispered
“welcome to life”
6. maybe i was wrong after all
7. i recall the mornings most
8. you, spec-fucking-tacular, lying in the sunlight
9. close enough to touch, close enough to keep
10. “ahh, mon ami, we all need a little lagniappe now and then”
11. while hazy clouds of wishful thinking reluctantly parted
12. sorrow became the most thoughtful gift
13. so i carved my name into your flesh
14. “che always was so possessive"
15. i will let you go
i will let you go
16. with perfumed determination
17. i vow to forget
one word
one fingerprint at a time
18. c’est la vi
19. but skin has a funny way of remembering
20. warm rays of sun across nakedness
and the things we all need

Cool ideas
Line number 2 is my personal mantra, lol. This was random, but definitely interesting. -
it seemed like a list of tips, or axioms.. interesting format. and yet, it all flows together into one piece. nicely done. i particularly liked the 'hurricane kisses' and 'as your voice wrapped around my spine'. something about those lines were esp. good, in my opinion. thanks for sharing this and best wishes

Yay. Wasn't this fun??
I love it. I love how bits and pieces come together and suddenly make sense. Isn't that just life?
