Blue Curtains


A DO NOT ENTER sign.
Temptation 
is great. If I open
them, what will be behind?
Maybe the truth? Maybe
Answers to an unspoken
punctuation mark,
pregnant
with denial

antiSocial


The person you are
calling is currently
unavailable,
please leave a message
after the tone.

Inbox empty,
you currently have no
new messages.

My phone vibrates,
a moments elation
deleted
by a network text.

Only Facebook asks me
how I feel.
I tell it I feel
alone
and twenty ‘friends’ respond
sending hollow hugs and
‘thinking of you vibes’.

You are not one of them.

Log-in to Yahoo messenger,
your name fades to
grey.

Maybe tomorrow I’ll see
your face.
But then I remember
you’re
one Hundred miles away.
