Fireflies by Ron Pope

stoic

i have a

fascination with stone faces.
that is (probably)

why i chose you,
in large, circular part:

a big yellow smile
on
the bottom of your shoe

and
nobody sees it
but me

and only (not)
when i need it   i

back  -   track

to all the creases i made
in
my own face,

like
concrete wrinkles

firm up (tight)
while i sleep,  and cry

cracking in the rain
you are

my own plaster
of paris   and

i knew it
would be you
all along

but
you see

i have
this recurring thing.
i love

obelisks,

like you...
