the trouble with being in love with poets



“ all these days i waited for word
   wondering how you are
   and finally i hear from you:
   a twentyfive pasie postcard

   stamped at a small town post office
   in some distant land
   and not a word on it, but for the address
   written in your hand

   and a stupid sketch of the hills at dusk
   with wiggly greens and squiggly crags
   the pale sky with silly wispy clouds
   and silhouetted prayer flags

   so you’d like me to believe you thought of me, if only for an evening
   but i know that’s not true
   some misplaced sense of guilt you’ve been running from i guess
   must’ve finally caught up with you

   (so fuck off ) ”
