My imitation this week is going off "My Father's Love Letters." Sorry, it's not long.
Excuses pressed against paper: I'm sorry,
come back, never again, please.
He stared down at his letter
so not to see the pink thong,
the shirt he wore last night, a number
written on a napkin
next to her picture staring
at the hardwood.
ooooh I like this.
ReplyDelete"come back, never again, please" what a great way to mirror the sentiment of My Father's Love Letters, but in your own way. "Pink thong" is great. It's so sleazy! And the "picture staring at the hardwood" is compelling and fresh.
Short is good when the writing is good. :)
Thanks for sharing
