Oblique Strategy: Use 'Unqualified' People

21- Unresolved

To the friends who I've lost but never mourned
Whose messages remain on read
Whose letters sit opened on my shelf
Replies that were just never sent

To our last conversations- as average, as normal
As plainly as they could seem
"Have a good night!" or "I'll ttyl"
But never made their way back to see

Even the ones that erupted, rather than gradual drift
The bitter hangups and shredding of words
I still pour a glass out if just for old times
The clippings can go to the birds

To lucifer, to wishbone, to aurora and bride
Too many noteworthy to list
I could find you eventually, would it be worth my time?
Or just retreading ground I don't really miss
