Love Poem: Dead Letters

Dead Letters

i used to watch them dance
on the end of my tongue
like dead men walking
the plank

performing their final ritual
the end of the diving board
one last turn to salute me
then they would burst
into flames

they knew their
time to burn had come
every word  I said to you
nothing but dead letters




The end of the line with my ex wife, every word I spoke was falling on deaf ears.
