"I Called Her Megan"
by Isaac Mars
Your face is a blur after all this time
But touchstone still for parts of my mind
For youthful lust and immature
Feelings to which I no longer moor
In the red glow and mirrored room
Age, muscle, and pride and I wanted it soon
And you did not buy it and hugged me goodbye
Your stomach felt naked, and sweaty and mine
Now I’m a cliché, poet, lust, and youth,
The flavor dried out, no passion, no sooth,
Somewhere far behind, predictable as sin,
Common as a preposition, my fading siren
