Distant Close

by Will Daunt

Book of poetry

Example:
BEST FORGOTTEN

You're vague, when I look curious and sigh,
'Remember nostalgia?'

and you talk of what's left, how long it might work
and what hasn't managed to happen,

whether somehow this liquid and limp appeal
might be better repackaged

with something less tangible, somebody new
out there in an untested future

in equal, familiar, unfocused distress
to this, which has split one from two.

What was it you said that we shouldn't have been?
Do you reckon you've won?

I think it was you - it might have been me -
who said, 'And what's thirty years?'
