Cynical

Where was she?
The fair one, the beautiful one,
the one he had never seen?
Oh, thou dream, devastating affliction,
sublime thought, clerical behavior.

Solipsistic trajectories, fools’ longing,
manic gallows, was it him
they were pining for?
Illiterate fool, illusory meaning.

Was it me she called so beautifully,
so lovely, with these beautiful words,
with this lovely voice?

But what is she saying?
Does she speak of love or
cynical meltdown?
