Do You Tell Her?




 Even Though

 Even though
 She is so close, so removed, so far away

 I wait patiently

 Even though
 Our social incongruities alarm her timid curiosity 

 I tender my life naked

Even though
This crude "modus operandi" offends  her unique sensibilities

I temper my desire

Even though
 My torn shoes speaks umbrage to her sense of inequality

I bare my humble pride

Even though
My simple thoughts deride in her innocent humor

I cling to my honesty

Even though, even though, even though
That last floating breath escapes in a supple, clear, azure bubble
The bracing deepens, the murk darkens

I remain hopeful, faithful, quiet, content... Hopeful

Even Though
