look away, so that i may steal a bit
i may rob some clouds of their sparkle
i may seduce the breeze
and make her change her mind
and direction
pl look away
do not burden me with
halo of adulation
it hurts
it distracts me from my vulnerabilities
just as dear runs here and there
and always misses
its own fragrance
my power
is my weakness
and let me be weak
but then please look away at least
your gaze constantly reminds me
of the curatins
that must hang over the windows
when i change
from cloack of power to
submlime sheets of misrable nothingness
