you are poetry to me(Arnold Melleby, 10.19.2017)

I waited for you
deep down in Mexico
what happened next
only you know

I left and found myself
on a one way track
I waited until you came
only to find you gone

as stoned as the walls
around will permit
the competition
may have done the concrete harm

to draw you from substances
that may abuse you
we wouldn`t want that
would we

an unfortunate widow
surfing on a past
that obviously didn`t last
reaching the shore
look who`s there to greet her
of, course
the one you thought
was all but gone

the ghost
asking inconvenient questions
tell me, love
did the insurance last
did your ties to my past
unravel any inconvenances
to you
ask the ghost
and here I am

you are poetry to me
