poem

 Had, Have

Once it was this great feeling I had

Or maybe it had me

Either way, tragic possession


Like falling in quicksand

The more you flail

The deeper the digression


Now it’s just something I have

Like an old key in a drawer

I forget what it opens


This scar on my hand

Once a deep wound

Wish it would bleed again
