I.

[Happiness is difficult to come by when one is constantly followed by Frisbees|find happiness] in small things (he said); in a beautiful sunset

in the heartwrenching blue of summer

in short-sightedness, in selective amnesia

II.

we are below the greatest screen of deceit

(in space there is no sky)

under, [And Mother burst forth, green and beautiful|the plants do not get watered]

a house sitting still without you in it

(almost waiting)

this [brute] that refuses to forget

attempting to resurrect you with magical thinking

(today, i cooked your favorite)

(today, i took your book [with me])

come night and i will chain myself again

while the flowers rot in the vase

III.

the sky is not infinite, from this [grave]

sunrise does not wash away any of these sins

nor do i need to witness one more instance of it

(if i can help it)

i do, after all, [Suicide is a permanent solution to a permanent problem|still keep your knife]

Three lies about the sky (poetry)
