With what dignity shall I attempt to count the inifinite?
Lies swarm out of your mouth like locusts
So loud and insidious
A strong arm and well worn shoulder
Cannot make lesser my agony
How translucent your comfort is
Trust is simple, and as such,
ever so simply broken
Can we forget the futile acts?
My dear,
With what unbridaled enthusiasm
am I supposed to muster up a genuine good-bye?
It is only clear to me that every gratitude of life
is marked unnecessary by your own anguished
desires
Go on, leave me here to question
whether you could have grown from all
the pangs of a boy
to the sorrows of an honest man
In the darkness of my closed eyelids I can see you
as vivid as a nuclear explosion
The stain of times past etching itself into my every dream
How the memories keep you
A timeless and remarkable package
wrapped up in the guilty details
of a determined boy.
