    The Man With No #Remorse

    Behind the desk, spurious
    Trophies of forgotten things,
    Meant to remind the viewers
    Of some glory that never existed.

    The fists on the table, the sounds
    Of the demagogue on wood from
    Forests he never owned that he
    Razes with fire from foreign weapons.

    The eyes fixed at something past
    Our shoulders, the attempted
    Intimidation of peacekeepers. He’s
    Dead inside with his political rage,

    The man with no remorse.

    one day

    other than being
    obsessed with her
    he had no thoughts

    on each morning
    over breakfast when
    he could he drew

    overly simple pictures
    of her visions of her
    hair in the wind

    on the pier
    on the run at
    home

    yet he never
    ever
    spoke to her

    yet to have the courage to
    engage with the
    sole love of his life

    one day
    one day soon
    he would

    THAT UNIVERSAL TRUTH
    Surprised by the desire
    For once not to rush, the
    Ambitious young poet,
    Always on the search for
    Another universal truth,
    Slows his pace to match
    His sister’s sedate carriage.
    They #amble now, through
    Trees and bushes, until they
    Reach the edge of this
    Stilling wood, and the air
    Motionless, and in front
    Of them that carpet of yellow,
    The hovering single cloud, the
    Hoarse rushing of the sea
    In the distance, and peace
    At last.

    I have no other voice
    Than mine, can’t insert
    The American narrative
    Tone into my poetry
    To make it seem like
    Something else, more
    Populist and cosmopolis
    Perhaps. That is the
    Impossibility of poetry;
    Imitation is a dilution of
    Thought and meaning,
    A redirection, misdirection.
    Murk cannot replace
    Clarity. Letters must be
    Black and crisp on white
    Paper, a clear form,
    Words open to
    Interpretation.

    Her eyes were opaque, at best,
    When he first looked into them, and
    That was what attracted him, who
    Thought he knew everything about
    Human nature, because he couldn’t
    See into her and know her instantly.
    As time passed, those eyes became
    Even more impossible to decipher,
    So he became even more needy. In
    The end, she left him none the wiser,
    And alone, after fifty years of loving.
    He followed her the next day.
