Folly

If I stand to lose my line of sight

What will the motive be?

Can I continue to hold a thousand butterflies

Against the wind of remorse?

Shall I retreat to solitude and

Overhear lovers' missives?

At what point does the mundane

Become the desired effect?

Five pairs of eyes stare into my soul and

Find no purchase, no understanding.

Just sanded walls and forgotten cigarettes.

Reckoning? Not here. Not yet.
