Questions
did you ever get it together?
I never opened the letter
you thought you knew better
judging me in your sweater
did it ever start to hum?
those notes you got wrong
you wouldn’t give up
although you could move up a half-tone
did it ever hit twice?
those times were so nice
now they’re gone like the ice
evaporating in the sky
will I ever see you again?
my dreams have been barren
metaphors easily matched
kisses turning to sand
questions live unanswered
in boxes unopened packed
in alphabetical order
in the back of my closet
