To Past Gaffes Once Tethered; By Concussions Unfettered

You disappeared, and you left me your ravings.
You vanished and left me with thoughts of the grave.
You left me at least an egg-carton of doubting
and a Costco-sized grief to write poems about.
It's been months since I wrote about you. You're less searing.
Is a dozen a magical number of years
Or have I just found it convenient forgetting?
You call Freud; I'll call Kreskin; we'll settle the bet.
I once worried what forgetting would make me. I'm seeing
That for better or worse, there's one possible 'me.'
