Replying to a comment on:
Her Name was Lisa (Free verse) by Owner of the Sky
And Thereby
She made things worse because
She E-mailed me your formal photos
[you went with James after all]
I can not believe
Mick let you out of the house
Wearing that dress. (or lack therof)
Your eyes twinkled at me
Like faithless lillies;
So taciturn, so piscean.
Aside:
{her voice, so decidedly Irish,
her eyes so heartbreakingly green,
her laugh hinting at the woman emerging,
but still glowing from the child within}
She wrote that you were
Dancing to hot candles;
Playing an orchestra.
So chillingly delicious;
My irrefragable snafued
Little genius, you are.
I snogged them all
Just so you could say.
Congratulations, you idiot.
And everytime I called you,
It was (always) like this
*squeaking of a pikachu doll stabbing at
my wetheavy little heart spiraling down
the phone lines, through Belfast,
swimming past startled fish, tunneling
with baredesperate hands through mountains,
piercing through smogcity Philippines,
squirming into my little suburban existence,
crisp and high on my earpiece--
all the while I am about to pass out from alcohol poisoning*
That was the only time
I could justify
The phone bill to daddy.
{I am just glad
he never found out
What a lesbian I am.}
Crab to claw
Through the silver flesh
Of my existence.
But of course,
you will never know
All this
Is a shared moment.
