dirty dishes

i put your dirty dishes in a box
next to the sink

they piled so high

so many so dirty
so foul-smelling

driving, dazed

sometimes when i am
driving, dazed
in my own presence
i think of you
leading me to cringe
i am sorry
for beginning it
like that

not good

always thinking
about
you
when i know
its not
good for
me
you
are always
on my
mind

a voyage

a voyage
to find you

stormy seas

ships wrecked

sharks
in the water

you left me

stranded
