Unreliable

Remember how you
worried about the
late train, unreliable
transportation, you said,
the Europeans are
unreliable, you said,
I search you for
guarantee, any, but
you are lost
how I'd like to
get lost. Forever, you say,
is how we console
children you don't believe in
consolation but I am
a child in my
wishing
Remember the sweet
taste of exhaustion
I fed you words
watched as you chewed
on the sounds of my home
you fell asleep mumbling
four useless words
I cannot be with you
in my sleep
if you don't believe in
forever, might you say
my name one more
time before you
go away
