Beyond These Good Thoughts Nothing Must Be Revealed. Poem by RIC BASTASA

Beyond These Good Thoughts Nothing Must Be Revealed.



I saw this rat
taking morsels from
the table and
running quickly under
the cabinet
to hide what it
had taken

or i suppose
what it had stolen
since it owns
nothing in the first
place

there is this anger
mixed with feelings of
pity

it steals not for
luxury but for
survival

inside myself after
that i reflect too
about what is happening
to me.

beyond these good thoughts
nothing must be
revealed.
