Fit For Forgetting...
i do not wish to
understand you
it is no use
at all, i only have
to have you
perhaps
but i may not have you
for certain
there are no things as such
or
persons personified
in wood
and stone
i do not wish to hold you
i do not have
that power
i am tired
of being lonely and broken
perhaps some parts of me
automate
some parts adjoining to
make a whole
of me again, perhaps
and so i do not wish to have you
and hold you
and even remember you
the years have
taught me
that you are only
such a beauty for my
forgetting
distance fold like
waves
of the sea
spitting foams and
touching skies
and wandering at sunsets
and then
face away like
gentle light
finally embracing the
arms of
night.
