old friends

by Peter Hsu

how sad
that i can't even remember
your last name
that little jumble of sound
just ash now
a dusty shadow i pick through
for a dime of meaning

i don't know if a poem has frightened me as much as yours today did. even picturing it is a kind of hurt that i don't want ever, much less experiencing it. fearfully evocative.
