A Poem for a Poem's Sake

A poem for a poem's sake
Danced among synapses,
But felt more in my sinuses
And under my eyes.

I'd lie if I said I cried today,
If crying requires tears.

But I feel years of weight
Bending me over
Face in my hands.

Several times.

The illusion of love
Still teases me,
Like aftershocks,
Like waves on a sea...

"Do you see her in me?"
She'd suddenly say, if
She were as smart as you,
And could read my mind
Like my weakness said
She could.

So a new mistake
Aches like the last
Million years.

A reflection of you
In a haunted mirror.

And

Of course I did.

(For a poem's sake.)

-Gray Squirrel
