Retrospective Valentine

All day I was sick
of myself all week
all month all year
it was a decade and
then decades of despair
and still no cure
or else the cure was there
but when I’d bend
to drink the water
or reach to grasp the pear
it would disappear
or exceed my touch
and I’d again despair
pretend to surrender
pretend you weren’t there
