Barely Semi Touched

Barely Semi Touched

 

Why don’t you wear your smile

again for me today ..

Just this one last time maybe ..

For old times’ sake

and for those, who once knew

and loved you ..

I double dare you, wear it now,

light, fine and fair ..

Just like you once wore your

off white overalls

and those small black diamonds

in each ear ..

When Jesus, you were nothing

short of fucking perfect ..

Yes indeed, how strange it seems

to resurrect

these now ancient marriage vows

between

those living and the dead ..

And although still so very loved,

in truth,

you can only now be barely

semi-touched ..

And felt and found in crypts,

cold corridors

and similar places of dark worship ..
