Anti-

They say, we are better served cold.

we better visit in the fall.

Our advice

would be to only remember you just before we met–

before we saw or spoke.

No lips touched, no forever adieu,

no arms embrace.

The best thought thought

is one not thought

a dawn before the fall

a bolt before the blue

a haunting notion unchristened

splashing your face, awoken

in the middle of the night.
