IMAGINED ATTRACTION

A few years before
our friend lay down dead,

You said I was handsome…
or that’s what she’d said,

That’s all I remembered
and I could not fathom
why boy I remembered
would think I was handsome.

But when I looked back
she’d said quite a lot…

She spoke of my family
and what you had thought,

But I didn’t ask
for more at the time

so I’m left in the dark
of remarks about crimes.
