That was just to say
What hurt most? This is just to say I think
you wouldn’t wake me I have eaten from my dream
when we could have shared the plums together could have talked
and wrestled the thoughts that were in between us
and put them in the icebox to chill
or that ‘just’ that stunned and which so casually
insinuated you were probably cruel
you know I was saving nothing
waiting for breakfast for break-up
or maybe the lie Forgive me no real apology
smearing me with malice they were delicious your adjectives
forgiveness though so sweet is a dish
best served late and so cold and so so cold
