last summer
last dark
last rise
last yawn
i cling to you like
last night
under the bespeckled starscape of our
last supper.
gaze into our dorm and know that this is your
last glance
of my toothbrush on the floor,
last flick
of the bulb draining,
last blinding
carpeted hallways and feet pattering in
last echoes.
last memories.
trudge into the lobby with
last sighs,
shed
last tears
amidst faces you
last laughed
with in the FroYo ice cream parlor.
“last call!”
bags in hand, will you
last long
back where
last time
they bashed every poem to its
last breath?
but the car is already gliding and Troublemaker droning in that
last melody.
exhale now; for, at
last, the
moment has come where that
last song
is all you have left to
last on.
