from “remember that we made this together — cherry wine”
.
on a pavement
in the capital city of a developing country,
wearing black trainers,
i slowly walked behind a stranger
a middle aged man with something *****
weighing on his left shoulder.
i observed it along the way,
gathering my fragile self together,
wondering whether to tell him,
or let his touch do its duty.
it was the produce
of wasted creatures’ bodies.
i wondered when it happened
perhaps while he was wandering in the park
without his wife alive.
it was a strange day in autumn.
the air was fresh
because of death
and its injustice,
brought too soon
by human cruelty.
dedication and devotion
had given him no fruition
only silent frustration.
it was the reality
of wrong admiration,
inherited from generations,
generating heavy dirtiness
on this stranger’s left shoulder.
my mouth didn’t move.
there was a ton of glue,
tasting like my ex’s unhealthy ***
i swallowed some,
but there was more to go,
the personal, ***** truth
from his left shoulder to mine.
