L'aura del Campo

After the break-up [114] ...do not weep for the Bard

After the break-up

Eyes lidded with bright blue mascara,
cheeks caked with whitening creme,
cold stares meant to put me in my place,
nightmares banished by warm wet-dreams.

Small vestibules never bother me;
bigger is seldom better.
It was the yellow door that opened,
the smile that let me forget her.
