Two Straws

poems + pictures + music

letter i will never send

last night, i dreamt of the world ending
and all i could think of was you
and in the total heartache of waking
up, to find the world just fine, well, it
is not fine, i have all this material, all this
memory to construct sadness, but i can
not make you, not anymore, i hate to say it
but i’ve forgotten so many things, like just how
much teeth your smile shows, or even how your
voice sounds when a train passes close by, i’ve
kept all those flattened pennies, i’ve kept the things
that don’t matter, so i just wanted to say, in the
story of your life, i’m ashamed of where my bookmark
is, and if you wanted teach me more, well, i’m not
really up for that.
