PLUCKED

PLUCKED

A Poem by Glen Fitch





            I'm sure you've seen a man
                in hot debate or
                roaming lost in thought,
                    as in a trance
            reach out,
            snap up a bud to mutilate
                then quickly toss it off
                    without a glance.

            Did you feel empty,
                desperate,
                deep despair?
                or  was if boredom,
                rage,
                frustration,
                fear
            that made you kiss me
                more that I could bare
                    and leave me,
                        with this bruise
                            beneath my ear?
           
            I mean,
                why bother reaching out to me?
            Why crush me close
                and then run on your way?
            I sought to give you joy,
                but could it be your joy
                    arose from feeling
                        my dismay?
       
            That bite left on my neck
                will cease to smart,
                    but what about
                        the hickey on my heart?
