Re-established Remains

A Poem by Poe Redd
"

no desc. cause im mysterious!

"
He
She probably said
retracing the lines of..

Something folded.
said:

"Tell her-"
listen to me.
You told me move on.
I don't stand paralyzed.
I don't believe in your ghost anymore.
"Tell her-"
Yeah, you told me.
Life was the distance, the difference.
The foam from our mouths in that sea between us.
Revitalized in..
asking prayers like stargazers.

Sure came through
for me
like a f*****g therapist.

"Don't-"
I've worked hard, to not get worked up,
through the network of oblivion we called home.
through the blind glaring forests we called home.
"I hope your time has been as happy as mine-"
Dared fill me with hope.
You remember this?
Only knew me years or so.
Wait..
The reaction is the same-
"and if it eases pain-"

Rewind.

"and if it eases pain,
I didn't want life to get in the way."
tears through me like an ocean-wide river
the rift playing riffs from Hell's core at the bottom
where it used to hurt.
No,
the flow surceased,
dry riverbed.
No scab just a rut.

"I want you to know,
even so,"
Wisdom granted the lunatic light
in her flight through the shadows.
Wishing on only the dying stars..
"that when it all came to an end,
I always hoped
to see you again."


What killed me was the apostrophe.
As though you were ever real.

There is skilled imagery woven throughout this piece. I love the therapist reflection most of all, the poignant reflection of a speaker seemingly spurned then condescended toward. There is an omniscient tone to the realizations of this speaker, as if the reader is caught in the tangled epiphany that an entanglement can become. Thank you for sharing your talent with this sight.
