Lovelorn Poet in Savannah, GA: Days On End (Bison Jack)

In the Window by Chris Blakeley

Today,
I saw an old girlfriend
coming out of a bookstore
and to avoid us both
having to smile through the lies,
I ducked into a bar,
ordered a glass of wine,
and thought about the times
we lay around naked for
days on end, and left
nothing unsaid.
It wasn’t until I ordered
another glass, and asked
to see the menu, that I saw
her sitting in the cafe across
the street, staring back at me.

for days on end,
I saw her staring at me
in the bookstore
the bar
the cafe

to avoid having to see
I ducked into
an old thought
about a girlfriend
sitting through the lay around times
and naked lies a menu
coming out of us both

It wasn’t until
today
I saw the smile
I ordered a glass of wine
and asked

we ordered
another glass
and left
nothing unsaid

across that street and back
