the art of forgetting

 
 
 
couldn't sleep.
 
chain smoking  
Lucky Strikes.
 
reflecting on
the day.
 
sitting next to
you at the coffee  
shop,
 
you, showing  
pictures of:
 
sunsets,
 
sunrises,
 
storms.
 
me, sitting so
close to you.
 
all I could  
notice was
the sent of  
your hair,
the butterfly
tattoo on your
left shoulder.
 
God!  
who are you  
that you can
make me  
forget
art.
