Barely Semi Touched

Barely Semi Touched

Why don’t you wear your smile
again for me today ..
Just this one last time maybe ..
For old times’ sake
and for those who once knew
and loved you ..
I double dare you, wear it now,
light, fine and fair
just like you once wore your
off white overalls
and those small black diamonds
in each ear,
when Jesus, you were nothing
short of fucking perfect ..
Yes indeed, how strange it seems
to resurrect
these now ancient marriage vows
between
those living and the dead ..
And although still so very loved,
in truth,
you can only now be barely
semi-touched,
and felt and found in crypts,
cold corridors
and similar places of dark worship ..
