palimpsest
it’s always there
you know
like wallpaper
beneath the paint.
so I puncture
fissures in the facing
and flake off the
fresh veneer
to press my fingers
on past papers
and remember
when I loved you.
Feedback is welcome, do not be afraid... As a side-note, however, it is worth mentioning that I don't put what I perceive to be my 'best' work up here, in case I want to submit it to journals or competitions. If for some reason you feel compelled to read more material, feel free to e-mail and I'll send you some.
