And We Will Not

And We Will Not

And we will not ever meet again,

revisiting hours are now well over

seeing you were there in double lust

hip swaying, cutlass then thrust

darling girl, hard-earned lessons

sung this lifetime’s side of heaven

won’t cut duplicity, our time’s well gone,

 I like not the office or the song.

Take back your promised future

dreams, kiss them rotten dead, bury

your sweet silly head into Life’s apron

and weep long, for I will none

of dull catch up conversations,

speak ill of what already passed on,

beyond any undiscovered land

 forever untouched by either hand.

Walk by, cast your lost lot into what

you prayed for, work it, live it long,

burn cards, toss wanton lover’s gifts

out with other token trash and drift

  

far off, out of my mind’s sight,

catch prevailing winds, currents strong

drown deep, don’t strike out for shore

for nothing lives there anymore.
