The Rendezvous
by Alex Knight
I thought about your lips on mine
And how I used to enjoy our rendezvous
We knew how wrong it was
How right it seemed
When she found out we both knew
It would have to end, but how could it?
Saying goodbye was harder
Than I could imagine
Your email out of the blue
Were not just words on a screen
You needed me more
Than I missed you
To get together, or not
We had promised to end it all
But there you were drawing me
Back into your web
I drove to the park
Not expecting to see her there
Pointing a pistol at me, no match
For an accelerating Hummer
The shot went wide
A short trial and a revelation
She killed you the night
She found us out
I think about your lips on mine
The shrinks all agree she’s cured
Her release date is pending
And I’m waiting.

You planned your life
Around its ending
Missing
love and joy.
Trying to make me
Believe what you believed
Without
Question.
Until too much
Of the Mayan this,
and
Mayan that.
Icy water realization
You wanted the apocalypse
Absolution for
tediousness.
No backward glance
At your fatal wounds
Your world ended
Today.
