In a misguided attempt to escape you I fled to Nietzsche. Weak Inconstant They are cats and birds At best, cows, he mocked. I don't know about that But I've never stolen glances at a cow And felt my heart turn to ash At the gentle devastation of its beauty While praying that the mild curry in my mouth Somehow shrivel up my tongue And singe off the unspoken entreaties simmering within. (And my affection for cows Extends only to veal cutlets) Today Nietzsche and curry failed me Tonight It'll be the familiar embrace of alcohol Until you fly back to Beijing. After which Are other substances and their derivatives To deal with the fallout Your transient smile Wrought on my worn soul.
