RESIGNED
at other times,
i talked
in rambling rhymes,
not yet chalked
on your blackboard.
i thought,
as my heart soared,
that i'd caught
the only one.
i wooed,
but what's begun's
unused,
so let's stay friends
and hope
each time transcends
the dope,
the ostrich fears.
we're lights,
unquenched by tears.
our nights,
of bridled hugs
can stay...
child's play
through resigned shrugs.
Brendan Hickey, "Beside my self"
