hey trevor
hey trevor
as you are driving
to your
self-destruction
you must be
wondering
what am i doing
at 3am in your
apartment
so inconveniently
away from the city
were we once
floundered our dreams
titillating –
without regards to reality
i just wonder
how come you are
still here
and i am not with
you
hey trevor
as you are wearing that black cap
that i gave you on
your birthday
i can almost see
the total desolation
of your destination
i might have been
able to
if i wasn’t just so
astounded by my own presence
here in your bedroom
-- no less
so immaculate in
tidiness
so blissful in your
manly husk
that i can smell
from your pillows
lying here in the
untouched side
were i can barely smell me
and my scent of
abandon
the deafening sound
of despair
hey trevor
you must be laughing
not as hard as i am
right now
wearing this silly
big hat from mexico
remembering our
first time in mexican soil
but i bet you can
only remember
the fireworks on
your 27th birthday
and how you'd say
things like
“churches are
everywhere”
“look, a roof
cactus”
and the best tacos
ever
i bet trevor
i bet
hey trevor
wherever you are i
must be leaving
i hope i'lll catch
you one morning
or tomorrow, or so
i know there are things left unsaid
and probably will
remain that way
but for now
hey trevor
i am here
i was here
