For Eliot Poem by r james sterzinger

For Eliot



your smile brings the dark
that I peer into
I think this
watching you
walk out of sight

I prefer
not to see you
bonny lass
not coming
not going

how did Christ die:
they say the weight
of the world
was on his shoulders

my sins
are remembered
in your eyes.
In you
all my madness
and loneliness
seem justified

I will Salinger
my heart away from you
I need to attempt
a resurrection.
