somewhere
in this reality

laced
in cryptic subtlty

past the
private cruelties

caused by
insecurity

quiet tensions
seethe

such that some
can hardly breathe

in a moment
of tragedy

could one try to
thread the 'we'

'round a thing so
unsteady

or might you
fold it up

and leave

til a bleeding
seizing
freezing
fear

dropped
a tear

and he couldn't
hear

to believe me

no he couldn't
hear

to relieve me

he couldn't
hear

just how sincere

the worlds of a fool

could be.

  1. I think I prefer your non-rhyming poetry to your rhyming poetry, though if this were done in a Poetry Slam format (i.e. a performance medium), I might take my opinion back. :-)
