#Chewing Plastic

Chewing plastic, it coats my mouth
like melted candle wax
and leaves that
bittersweet taste of you
on my tongue
when we were still young
and you weren’t gone
like the rain in a summer heat.

Chewing plastic, so hot it freezes up
and dies as quickly as it began
leaves that
bittersweet memory of you
on my tongue
when we would run
and you weren’t so far
like the summer in a storm of sleet.

I remember when
the tips of our noses
touched like lightning and sea
and sent that current
through our bodies.

It was easy then.
It was good then.
but I’ll never go home again
and I’ll never go home again.

crack, trees, swings, cliff, swim.
scream, breathe, scream, breathe.
wish, pray, cry, drown, die.
crack, spin, bottle, tin.

I’ll never go home again.

So many emotions tumbled in this piece! What I loved the most was the simile "...like lightening and sea..."

#

The chewing of plastic, even if one hasn't tried comes alive the way you described it. One can imagine too. (Some might even try.)

I chew plastic all the time to be honest

#

and it’s always when I’m kind of reflective in thought

Bottle caps

#

I remember once I was chewing a bottle cap and accidentally swallowed it and it got stuck in my throat and I almost died

#

I could write a whole other poem about that

Oh, I see.

Most of my best poetry is personal experience

#

I’d tell you to read my poem Butterflies & Violets but you’d have to scroll quite far in the channel

#

this poem is dedicated to you (not in the way that you are the dead lover)
