Reminder by Ben Hayward

The mirror shows lipstick kisses,
Left by some tramp
Whose name I can't recall.
I remember her socks though.

The carpet is singed
And the hot knives are cool.
Post-it notes in time.
Like fractures from another life.

A bundle of sheets are laying on my bed.
A human sized heap of cloth and flesh.
The point where the two worlds collide.
Sobering scribbles seem so inane.
