I have wiped
you off the face of the
Earth I have put a
curse
on you.

This morning I didn’t play
our tape of
Ferron
singing “Satin Blouse.”

Later
I file the lyrics
in a folder I
put
under everything else on my desk.

I have forgotten
you already I no longer
remember
your name you
no longer
Exist!

When I
pass by
the photograph
Rebecca took of
us with our
arms around each other
I look the other way.

And I don’t think
about you
any
more.
