What To Do When Poem by delilah contrapunctal.... yes, that's how I intended to spell it.........

your ex leaves town......for good'n'all...and all that.....

wish him
well......

promise to visit
and
not stay long....

wish him
health
and
happiness....

write him
a bon voyage poem....
....meter and form altogether unimportant.....
.enjambing a possibility.....
a probability...a certainty....

(all implications to be presented as straightforwardly as is superhumanly possible.) .....use more adverbs...and more....and more...

dear gods...everything lasts forever.....all of it...every color and every sound....
words, scents.......
everything lasts forever
semi-contained in lidless jars...ribbons untied and seals broken......

everything lasts forever...

.becomes the iridescence one sees on bubbles...

.....that's what I'll give him for a going away gift....another jar...
one of bubble solution from the five and dime...with a wand taped to it, of course.....dog'll have fun, too........
doggle, doggle, doggle......
hound, hound, hound
bound, bound....unbound by the beauty....yep, that's it.......
