Bridgette Moore - Two Poems




In front of the subway entrance

i hate when women
are 10 feet
in front of you,
maybe more,
and still
you smell the linger
of their perfume.
No.
No.
you
feel the stench
of their smell 
taking over your right
to sense other scents.
to make your way 
about this world
in your way.
worse too,
it's always cheap.
the kind that
doesn't knock.
just has its way
with you.
and when it says 
goodbye,
all you have
is a headache saying
Hello.


barely there

barely there.

	    lingering.

			tasting.

					remembering.


it found you.

	     barely there.

			    lingering.
	
					tasting.	

						 remembering
	loving.
