Lovelorn Poet in Montréal, QC: I Know
poem by spknoevl
I know,
it’s easier to be a poem than a poet,
but the great majority of you,
alas,
can not even pull that off.
Let that sink in a bit.

Lovelorn Poet in Brooklyn, NY: Goodbye #2 (stuff)
Foraging by Eric Parker
i was about 8 when willie, named after the country singer, was put down. he had turned on mom, sank his teeth into her forearm, which to this day is still bestowed with scars. the next night, refusing my own bed, i slept in his (a cream colored fleece mat), cradling his chew bone. dad figured the remedy to my first bereavement was to rid the house of any trace of our dog, so mat and bone and collar etc. were laid with the trash at the end of the driveway.
i’ve thrown out your purple yoga mat, your books, your hair dryer, your maple syrup. this morning i found one of your long, black, errant hairs under the bedsheets. got rid of that too.
Lovelorn Poet in NYC: Oh Dear
Mask Off by Thomas Rousing
Writers block
Caused by couture haute,
That I’ll be wearing
Around the clock;
At the after party
Only because
The two of us
Were never in the plans.
So I’ll be the one
You’ll be dreaming of
With tears in your hands.
While people fawn over me
Getting ready,
To greet my fans.
You’ll never know,
The feeling.
