Dear Joe:

I do like all your poems, every one of them. No title to this one, a new one, I am thinking, following the “new development’ you mentioned.

I like assertiveness, being direct, straightforward, so powerfully stated in your poem:

“We have unfinished business/ And I have a bone to pick with you/ …Let’s just skip the formalities/
The backhanded insults/ And cut to the chase/ We have a score to settle.”

Your last line is that you never forget. Being sent “more ghosts from the past
When (you are) about to walk away” will not allow you to forget, correct?

Those “ghosts from the past”- if you wanted to forget, or to move on, how would you stop those ghosts from the past from reappearing in your life, I wonder.
