I

A Poem by Matthew Bass

do not be 
nor will not 
write of trees 
so very beautiful 
or close eyes wide 
to smell flowers fragrance 
from a box 
made of wood 
diluted, deluded 
down the sewer 
of sweet prose 
with scheme´s ryhme 
concocted to make 
fragile hearts 
this much more 
soft, cracked, broken 
to rue you 
unsuccessfully thinking 
ugly things existing 
are not real.
