you think
the mellow fruitfulness of Merlot
and the mind-expanding pirouettes of Tetrahydrocannabinol
are going to make it go away.
you listen to Benjamin Biolay and drink PG tips and you pause, linger and remain;
-
all synonymes of the same.
the kite-runners remind of you
and the fury and the sound.
and meanwhile I decide to measure the immeasurable
-
the note said 'je t'embrasse'
it was stuck on the black chest of drawers
where you keep your emergency cigarette
