Three and Five

New poems by Matthew Young


    8




    over the remains
    our summer fling
    forms into a quick
    sculpture of sure suicide
    we took it all
    in way too fast
    all of those kisses
    and cuddlings added up
    against us
    the paintings from our
    outings to art galleries
    watch us fail
    they laugh that dreaded
    laugh laced with acrylic
    poison pushing up and out
    of our sickened hearts
    it ends here
    for now
    my love
    i will remember you
    in these poems
    for some time
    to come
