Last Call Poem by John Kipling Lewis

Last Call

Rating: 3.1


when coffee comes at last call
the rain still clings to my leg,
like a memory, like i wish a you would

only rarely did you rain on me

never the down pour

never the deaths I wanted

always a step away,
arms away
pushing me further back

the coffee taste like mud
so far from what I wanted

sex with you was never great

I almost get this one but not quite and what is the 'like i wish a you would' all about? It makes me want to write a whole new poem around it.

6. Almost works. But the images are uneven and spotty, mixed with telliness. Keep the former, cut the latter.
