imagination laceration

dialling tone
no reply
i hold and hold
until paralysis
i imagine you
shopping for mundane items
flour
tissues
a red pepper

seconds pass
and i imagine you
performing sexual acts
not recorded in the kama sutra
with a man from italy
or some other land
where legend says
they fuck like satyrs

and i imagine you
enjoying not being with me
despising me
for not being there with you
for not knowing
what you are doing

and if i asked you
where you were
and you showed me proof
a receipt for
flour
tissues
a red pepper
i wouldn't believe you
( i won't ask)
abstract image
