It should be easy to forget

My heart, a stray dog,

enlivened by your dead man’s lilies,

pungent, grave-robbed

under iron clouds.

Let’s sit still awhile,

throw more wood on -

I’ll fan the flames

and we’ll surrender to the heat.

Let’s part the sea,

walk between waves,

you can hold the water back,

build unbreakable dams.

Let’s make big plans,

swim upstream, free,

should be simple to stifle history

if we tether down the past.

My heart, a stray dog,

revived by your quixotic lies,

suffocating, grave-robbed 

under brimstone hail.

Let’s part ways,

rewrite the ending,

you should be easy to forget

if I bury the memory deep enough.
