leaves


Anne Marie’s 
stretched out 
like a queen

across the back

of a Cutlass Supreme



smokin’ weed

and talking with Kumar

watching leaves

scud across 
the reservoir



Mike is a jerk

cuz he hasn’t yet 
called her

two months at college

and he can’t be bothered

Well you know

he can go climb a tree

cuz he ain’t got 

the common
decency



to give the mother

of his child 
a shout

damn college boys

got it all figured out

  1. And years from now
    down that lonely road

    he'll wonder why
    she won't answer his calls

    and regret those days
    he was such an ass


    and in his dreams he might
    perhaps

    say the right thing.

  2. ha. yep
    he's on his way toward
    escape velocity

    & she---well,
    its all too common
    a thing

i don't like eggs but you knew this already i know you're thinking such a terrible waste but it's not, you see i'm feeding them to the dog she loves them just as much as i know she loved you and the way you walked her as if every single thing she sniffed mattered to you as well sorry, dear pardon my red wine opera crowd violin string tugging (your words) i ramble at breakfast like a fussy percolator but you knew this already morning is when i am most honest and vulnerable i know that's why you left after dinner oh god dammit you i miss you so much what i did before us is a mystery and what i do now is insanity i'm frying up eggs just to smell them again and to perhaps coax you down, from wherever you are for breakfast did you know i believe that there is still a ghost of a chance Rene Foran ~  April 2011 photo by Tess Kincaid for Magpie Tales click for more info
