bittersweet and blue

October 14, 2018 by Michael Guerin

without a single word
your clear brown eyes
reach out across this distance
and cut me to the bone
and lay my falsehoods bare
in ways
bittersweet and blue
which leaves my spirit empty
and hungry
to hold some truth.

i doubt if you remember
such a slivered
slice of time or space
and i wonder what you’re doing
and how your life has been
in the silent
traces of an hour
filled with recollections bold
and blue as my sun
sinks into rust.
