Bully Beef Poem by Andy Brookes

Memories dissolve charcoal edged, smudges on the peripheries of frames; faces swirl some glad to recall, others, not so.

Facebook page turns memories Bully Beef returns
haunting, taunting dark demons, red.

scrolling down I meet one on Facebook
telling him how he treated me and guess what?
he never even remembered me, this school yard thug
tormentor of dreams.

so he says hows it going and I think why did I waste my
tears and sleepless nights on this guy who doesn't even remember my name?

then I realise I can close the book case closed and never think of him again.
