end of the engagement (Free verse) by Mona Lisa
I was not killed in New Mexico
But yes you dug my grave
No body is buried there
I live as an obituary.
I was once a good stanza
Now a classic tragedy
The talk at campus coffee breaks
Post mortally examined
On google by a sibling.
Thirty seven poems I wrote
Thirty three unread
I wrote them for you
With the last one now
Which streams down my face.
Next year I am Christ age
So remember me at Easter
When I hold myself with ten nails
And smell wood thinking of you.
Remember Hampstead with me
Though London was never mine
What was ever mine?
I guess what I've been left with â
Ghosts of where we trod.
