• UNTITLED BREAKUP POEM
    by UC Poika


    I try to picture you as ring-tones sound
    awakened to my presence in your life
    as memories unfold within your mind on screens
    but cringe to think of some of the scenes that play
    and I try to picture you listening to me now
    as you check your voice mail for any sign
    as if to change from stormy to open seas
    in hopes that as with the sun my victory’s lade
    then walking away with mostly cloudy thoughts
    I search the past for what it was which was worse
    and the many things I saw as loving, were not
    as loving as once I’d thought they were at first,
    but I’ll always need you when my hearts or hearts
    finds feminine nuances where a new love would start.
