I Won't Remember You

As I walk these dead-end streets alone
As the dogs bark and the caravan
...goes on
I won't 
remember you
,And I won't remember your Mediterranean face
falling asleep between my arms and the arms of 
dawn
,And I won't remember your black starry eyes 
gazing at me, like two suspended moons between hell 
and heaven
And I won't remember your heavenly curls 
locked night after night between my sleepless fingers
As I walk these dead-end streets alone
As the dogs bark and the caravan 
...goes one
I won't 
remember you
And I won't remember your hands molding my nights 
like the sounds of chirping birds contour the face of 
morning
And I won't remember your touch
And I won’t remember your body carved like a wound between my thighs, like an anchored ship
waiting to be forgotten
As I walk these dead-end streets
,alone, my dear
,the dogs ill bark but the caravan
.the caravan won't bemoving
