Binge and Purge

by Rachelle Howe

I hear your truck pass and pisssshhhh;
exhaust billowing and I am
exhausted by the strain that
we decided to press and push and
we put one too many trick ponies up on the stage.
But I waited for your ghost and offered it a drink.
It smiled shallowly, offered that same contrive
conniptions and said I was still wrong.
I often find that those roses
we pick petals from prick the flesh of thorns,
but my crown was pressed all too deeply and I
miss you still.

Outstanding. Those last four lines rock hard.

Gorgeous. I agree with Gabriel.
