P. S. Burton
Iniquitous Behavior


Tell whether the actions I have committed lately
Can be deemed wicked?

I haven't been sober since it ended. I have tasted
Anything so sweet that it could be compared to him,
But I haven't lost my feelings for him. People tell me
That this feeling takes time to dissolve away, like
Snow flakes falling gently on your skin and slowly
Begin to melt, but I don't want to forget I don't want
-- To lose those midnight musing or those intimate sessions.
I don't want to Forget that I loved him and
I don't want to live loving the memory.

Pope says “How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd;”

I've not found god yet, but I have found
Some kind of faith in his eyes. Glimpses of
A future, a kind of strength and kind of love;
And most of all a kind of protection, all these
Things are gone, now.
