Fixation
"I pick it up and turn to a random page and read a sentence - 'Nothing fixes a thing so firmly in the memory as the wish to forget it'."- Matt Haig
The poet's pen trembles and hovers...
inches from the page.
Mascara bleeds as tears smudge
lonely words in
tormented ink possessed with passion.
Infatuated vultures circle
waiting for memories to die but
they never do...
