RECEDING

For what reason has a flower
if she was drought by the sun?
had we soon forgot
all that lives, falter
what ends, began

do my eyes beseech you?
how many moons has it seen?
Pity
it is not our eyes that see the moon
i'll be damned if it did

"Thank you, it's just the hairgel"
thin as it may look
"this is a mark of geniusness"
to kid myself, fear
Ahh, yes. What else is there?

rubbing my wide temples
a by-product of chemicals
Just water from now on, lots
though damaged has been done
in four years i'll be bitter
cruel is worst but I won't be younger
