Jazz guitar:

slow-

in D minor:

a note allowed

to resonate

like

the pain

caused

and delivered.

 

The shadow

that links my arm

is the sigh

that pulls me back

to there

but I wont respond

just keep 

the kerb a foot away

from turning

back around

to her.

 

My wants 

are the rear-view 

mirror

that cause the

eye's to blink

wet memories

washed in rythm 

like the cab's

wipers

with each argument

pushed aside

and her perfume

still attached

to this guilty

drink.
