Stain

Stain

A Poem by Tom Stroud
"

I am definitely quite glad that the stain is gone, it was pretty f*****g gross.

"
I left that picture up, I don't know if I'll ever take it down.
This is a rite of passage, a pilgrimage I didn't agree to.
I am blue, sullen. Watch me sink.
Find somewhere under it all,
Find me somewhere you wouldn't look,
I won't find me again.
_

That picture is still on my bed side table,
But your bed side, is empty.
Just that stain,
A sordid reminder of what one cycle will erase,
And I'll lose the last physical presence of you,
But I've already lost a lot.
