Ode To A One Night Stand


from the ABC set Words That Flow Like Oil Over Water

my only regret
about
fucking
you is that
i was too drunk to
recall how
you look
naked.

i can picture you clothed
peel away the layers
but my imagination
could not possibly
do
justice
to your body

I only hope that you
don't spend as much time
thinking of me as I do of you.

the last stanza is perfect.

Some great imagery in the second stanza and I love the lack of punctuation - my only criticism would be the capitalised 'I's in the final stanza - the poem might flow better if you stick to one way of punctuating and keep a lack of capitalization throughout!

I like it, worryingly deja vu(ish)- the seeds of a misspent youth. Must look up some more of your writing. Thanks and well done...
