To Love him is to know Him

By freudian-slip

He left a gamey taste on my tongue
with stiffened
over-sized lips
pressed
on poster boring presentation

email decorated with digital perfection

displaying great absence of emotion

knowing the dead are often consumed with more spirit than this

pungent smell of body decomposition
reeks through miles of separation

and who was all this love intended for?

only his version
of narcissism
