| we would track our relationship by the phases of the moon and she was full and gorgeous that night we first kissed shining smile beaming down to wish us two all happiness like a volcano that hasn't blown like an iceberg under ocean depths we were something about to be happening so how ironic was it that when i drove away for good she was embarrassedly peeping through my car window rising reluctantly into the sky with her face turned away from me like a flower trod on before its opening like a fetus stillborn in the eighth month we were something that could have been beautiful one half of her face in shadow, the other gleaming with shame she pulsed at me, dull yellow and as jaundiced as i felt glowing with pity full on her visage as i drove and wept like a prototype dismantled before the test run like an experiment deemed unworthy of trials we were something with massive potential and she was full and gorgeous that night we first kissed so how ironic was it that when i drove away for good she pulsed at me, dull yellow and as jaundiced as i felt we were something that could have been beautiful we were something that could have been we were something too important to have been untapped |
