LETTERS FROM AVERNUS

After you said you were done with me
And jumped off your bridge
Hopped off your ledge
Still your ghost kept watching me
You can’t have it both ways
From the mouth of Avernus your specter sent
Four letters
And each haunted missive was destroyed before I ever read them
I say you’re dead
But your ghost insists you live
You always insisted things that weren’t true
Like she meant nothing to you
As you hid all the rubbers
And every day your love grew for me
She staked her claim
A spare toothbrush
Eyedrops
And then you dropped from the face of he earth
And now you have nothing
