Evening Mourning Poem by Justine Tennant

I typed “evening” into the search engine
“buy and sell evening on e bay”

it enticed me
I was intrigued, so I clicked

Everything comes at a price
In this modern millennium

“Will be glad to combine orders
and adjust shipping accordingly”

OK, give me the evening of our first kiss
Combine it with the evening I betrayed you

Let me relive those moments
Priority shipping

“Your order will be shipped
within 1 day after we receive payment”

I will be paying a lifetime
Waiting for the evening

Of the score
