note to lost lovers, friends

you have no graves
to shrug into slowly

you instead starve in jungles
living on scraps, muttering

carving out your own moon.

Lovers who are lost or lost lovers?

This is a lovely cameo no one else seems to have seen. I especially like the last line. "Carving out your own moon" thats a great image i have to say. Best wishes Keith
