Alone by Myself

The taste of

licorice

and citron *****

haunts

every dream I have

and I can still smell

your perfume

on my shoulder.

A phantom

follows me -

your hand on my side

warm lips on my cheek

the string of cool metal

tied around my finger -

I don’t know

how to be

alone

without you.
