poem for the day





Ink


I wanted to write you a note this morning
leave it on your pillow
before I left for work
but I couldn’t find my red pen

It would have said that you have no reason
to be jealous it would have been a proclamation
of loyalty it would have tried
to convince you of my devotion

But I couldn’t find my red pen
and I could never scribble in this notebook
with any other hue


(from the new issue of Gloom Cupboard)

Interesting how compulsion can sometimes override devotion. But, of course, I do take things very literally, so you probably intended a deeper meaning that went right over my head.

Gloom Cupboard... I like that.

Interesting.
I didn't intend it as compulsion,
but another manifestation of that same devotion.
