Through the Bedroom Window

Poetry and Prose

Friday, December 21, 2007

(lies)

It wasn’t your words,
it was what I thought you meant by them.
But your letters, pressed to my face
smell only of paper.

After I left
I thought about you fiercely for many days.
You said you missed me
because you knew what it would do:
Bring me back through the wires,
make me want you

like a cigarette.
