I have witnessed unsolicited exposures
And revisited old faults without closure –
This painted ceiling, slowly stripping off its finishing
To bare its defects, begets nostalgia over
How your name is still a byword for frustration,
Shelved within my innermost synapses;
Like a dog-eared page in an Asian
**** magazine, sound & stiff as an equation.

And revisited old faults without closure –

To bare its defects, begets nostalgia over
How your name is still a byword for frustration,
Shelved within my innermost synapses;
