emptied my pockets
quivering on your doorstep:
nothing but staled exhales,
old hand-holdings,
some smiles scattered
heedlessly on the
old oak plank.
urged to shake off the remnants
of a used-to-be you:
that pore threading
fingers trembling
lips dripping
late night call.
I leave you dreaming
in the warmth of her bed,
I’ve been a Fortune’s Fool
one too many times.
