A Tribute Two Lost Poems
A Poem by Matthew Bass
The best poems are forgotten before they´ve been written. I II I crawled out of bed with the memory of two vague masterpieces lost in the untraceable steps of a dream´s footprints Between the snap of a finger of a drunken morning (seperated) and Triskels Tavern. Fragments of sweat-stained air guitar strings, notebooks and prose-like voices choking every last person as it bled and squeezed through every swirling nook. Now as the sun rises I reach for you, frantically somewhere within an arms length of my out-stretched hands in the abstract illusion driving me forward. But, I fall back into a dirty pillow with a throat full of cotton, a headache, resigned pain and the epitaph of two lost poems that made me think about you. |
