What was her name?
Dog tags
arrow head
hanging from my rearview mirror
her pony tail
a disappearing sail
hanging from my imagination
streaked with auburn highlights
painted by the street lights
prism through my windshield
mascara river
trailing down her face
hanging from her lace
resting on my shoulder
the place
I gave her
solace
and promised her my love forever
what was her name?
she traced it on my chest that night
with the tip of her nail
now it hangs from my heart
like a shoe-boxed medal
forgotten in shadows
the love of my life
that one night stand
hanging from my gallows
