ME AND YOU
 She was so dampening to the spirit,
 and she forgot how to bring tea to the bedroom
 a heavy skin congealing around a fleshless ghost.
 spinning silly scenes
 of phantom recall
 and when the high tides came back
 she saw shadows in the shadows
 And she made affirmations -
 like this" Most people think individuals should choke out or kill their
 romantic loves
 for anyone but the person they are currently with.
 thus assuming fluffy moments into forms that bend love into an
 nshapen thing
 out of all the meaningless clouds".
 I once had a friend who believed in silence
 not a vow of silence just its prison
 and lived where waves weeped upon whitened shores
 and one day upon the quay she said
 "To all of you who can be honest with yourself and choose
 sacrifice,
 I hope you're making the best decision for you and everyone else
 involved."
 she sat in silence feeling ashamed for still loving people
 who she loved in the past.
 And it was a past passed over to the memory of illusion
 "I never stopped loving people who were long removed from my life
 I should feel guilt for not "letting go" of those past loves ".She
 said.
 But the silence was about something else
 she turned to me on a false day of summer saying
 "it's ethical or healthy to allow yourself to romantically love more
 than one
 person for any enduring period of time. "
She looked out to sea and remembered not the memory of loss but the
 memory of
her silence
 I said upon that 
kingdom of waves
and storm.
-" Everyone should pursue the one true love of their life
 and stick to it exclusively for the rest of their life". But what I
 said
 was for love of voice not mind
