Another Love Song Poem by RIC BASTASA

let me say, even if you do not believe me,
i am here
swinging on a rattan hammock
facing the sea
figuring out how God mixes the color
of a sun fading and the darkness
finally winning the game
of day

let me say, for the nth time, that i am here
alone
waiting for no one,
not thinking about change of society
not computing the number
of the dead
comrades,

let me say, that i am here, thinking of you,
but i know,
you do not believe me anymore
but that is fine with me

i am not yours
anyway.
