detachment

the thoughts i had of you

as the dark of the night nodded off

and the rays of the yellow dwarf

slid through softly open curtains

reminding me that there wasn’t any romance between us

but when your phantom fingers stroked my mind

the imagination of the woman you turned me to

thrusted me into an explosive fantasy
