AND IT ISN’T EVEN CLOSE

once you see this
cannot unsee it
not a thing
you might elide
simply glide by

leaving you wishing
you never
witness this
again

leave you
wanting more

sure, you may
forget, tell yourself
you forgot, to forget

but
it is always there
the suspicion remains

see saw seen unseen
never
crossed your
mind

messing with you
on and off,
all the time

like nothing hitherto met
previously encounter

and
it isn’t even close
