F A R

lie your
                                                                ­          lies



and your obstinate insistence

the world is not as i see it as others see it only as you see it

the pearls aren’t moonlike anymore
                                                         ­   

they’ve dropped
scattered on the floor
                                                         white and pale

like the death
