Second for the day...

This isn't brand new, but it's still not finished. And I like the subject matter. This poem started out very different than it is now; maybe that previous iteration is a different poem altogether. Who knows? Anyway, now I'm on schedule.

NPM #2

“Ruins”

I found your abandoned blog.

There were comments left unread.

No forwarding information,

no farewell address…

Nothing to explain the mysterious disappearance.

I didn’t know where to look—

all the windows were closed.

The links had no leads,

and the search engine saw nothing.

I try not to think the worst,

as I click my way

from one dead end to another,

trying to get inside yourspace.


*( i took "yourspace" out of italics because it felt pretentious.  it was all "ooh, i made a reference to myspace but not.  look!  i meant myspace but said yourspace, isn't that clever? puh-lease.)
