MEMOIRS OF AN UNKOWN SOLDIER

I view every summer in the same way an atheist says ''dear god''.  Ive been treating laughter like something electric that i need to do just to not feel barren.  You messed with my white matter at the cost of my therapy

and i stand. 

-

Unknown soldier who would i be without you?

at the edge of my seat, stomping my feet in my feminine attire.  A big girl in a small body, once walked those streets like they belonged to her.  Monumental or mental ?

My fears are now ambivalent.  I no longer know which one of the two i fear more. For in this world our reflection belongs to two places only : The mirror and the eyes of another 

Dear soldier, unknown in name , not in gaze. 

I could never un know that. 

-

Unknown soldier, writes, occasionally smokes, runs , kisses like a memory you can't lose.

Are you writing all that down ? 

There's a big party tonight, down the memory lane and i might not even go this time. Im a regular there. As usual, a fine liquor arrives on the rocks.   But that thought betrays itself when he's the one who knows that i don't drink . 

Once the sun hit my face, i felt brave. Once i traveled alone, it felt brave.  Once we.

  -

Fucking somber town. Never rearranged like a furniture, or a hair color. Always open with closed doors.  Now i understand yours, soldier, preference to watch it from above. City's a miniature, so your problems lose their size.

Unknown soldier who would you be without me ?

All cheeky and tall. Observant and sure. Habitually chasing victories and virtual worlds. Tell me all about it. 

When i turned older i knew it. Life is unfair. Unfair like the first time i felt injustice.

Like a time in a school parental meeting, where one's parent chair remained empty. 

Ouch , so harsh.   And if it's harsh it makes me complex. Not very appealing for you to date. But appealing enough for me to live. I have someone to make flourish. That's me, my girl. 

All those moral fiber pages, the gatherings with a hint of vodka, the country retreat , your sun-colored companion, the balcony where a second mother listened, the new names in your story.  Are they infinite?  Soldier answer me. Are they?

Unknown Soldier who would i be with you? 

I don't seem to know just yet. Would i be content? A reliable partner for you to grow?  or a liability for you to go? 

i stand , i love , i try , try , try . 

Unknown soldier, you're not unknown to me
