Messages in Candlelight: Melted Heart

By One Comment1 min read
A Hockney-Dada image: Black person with afro and glasses looks at phone by melting candles and a March 3rd calendar. Fragmented texts and a faint smile suggest longing.

melted heart

i wearily lift the mobile,
my heart melts like wax.
i’m reading message after message
after message under the candlelight,
scrolling up, scrolling down,
re-reading – am i crazy?
the air cooled from March 3rd
when i noticed your xxx‘s ceased.
i hope you’re well!
i try to picture your smiling face
now –
just a distant memory.
