How stupid I am

How Stupid am I, digital Illustration, boy Roland

How stupid I am

To yearn for you

For the idea of you

As though our aches and pains

Were beacons in the grey.

See me and be seen by me

Through me you will know thyself

We will each be a mirror to the other

Reflecting pain, loss, sadness and hope.

I have imprinted in your kindness

Like a baby duck

All the while knowing

That a dish of waterfowl

Is on the menu.
