throughout the day, their shadows stitched to my side

rippling and shifting in the changing light of time

they lift my spirits

the sun warms my face

once night begins, they dissipate

one should stay

two could stay

one tries to stay

but the dark keeps them away
i hold my statues face in my hands

wiping away her tears

i rest my head on her shoulder

wishing i was strong enough to hold her

as my now aching head leaves her arm

i’m made aware i’ve left it warm

a small result for all my trying

was it truly worth all my crying?

the only impact i feel returned

much less than i’d felt i earned

my statue turned to me and splat

my statue fell and crushed me
i hesitate by the dustbin

my hand, expectantly waiting

commands to dispose

but i ponder, pose, froze

surely i would hear the fire sigh

‘trayed lovers he’s seen too many a time

but to leave this print to its own content

i fear it would strangle me with its contempt

had we been on level terms

surely what is yours i could return

but the price ive already paid

and you’d made it clear you’ll not speak again

to use a pigeon would eyebrows raise

why should i resort to these inbetweenways?

curse the poets and romantics

i scorn their symbols and schematics

why is it they complicate

géibheann, piégé, checkmate

like a parasite they’ve crawled

and now refuse to move

deep inside my mind they call

everything i do too true

can i just be rid of reflections of you?
