behind a certain screen
the real world
lies

the poet
has to make you see
between

the sirens and the sky

autumn’s rusty leaves
the sparrow with no raincoat
but rain

is useful for so many things

just rub it in to hair
to emphasise your fake

so it can never break
of accidental care
or outright selfishness
