Do not look for me. <br />For I have not yet forgotten. <br />I have not sent the epistles <br />To oblivion just yet, <br />So don’t look for me. <br /> <br />Do not look for me, <br />In the hours emblazoned <br />At the stark hands of <br />The clocks. <br />I have not yet comprehended <br />How time works, <br />How the inert energies <br />Tell squalid abandonment, <br />Loss with no reprieve, <br />Nor the indictment of the <br />Moon, <br />And so, please. <br />Do not look for me. <br /> <br />I am still. <br />I am the waters that break <br />In respite. <br /> <br />Do not look for me <br />In the hours where <br />I try to restore myself <br />In this world of delinquents <br />And insurgents. <br />Do not smite me <br />With the insipid naivety <br />That you always <br />Vie for: <br />That I am most encumbered. <br /> <br />I have long been <br />Trying to exhilarate <br />Myself in your furlough <br />But you always tinker <br />With trifle sordid restive <br />Hands. <br />Is this how it works? <br />Am I a glass <br />That you let break? <br />That you let shatter? <br />I’ve only one verve to carouse in, <br />So please, do not look for me <br />Only if you mean to <br />Decipher how to deliver me <br />To my demise <br />And not how to traverse <br />This labyrinth with me. <br /> <br />And so do not look for me <br />With eyes shut. <br />Do not look for me <br />With a mouth that reeks <br />Of pungent derision. <br />Do not look for me <br />With feet that tremulously <br />Wander through my shambled skin. <br />Do not look for me <br />With a heart that shudders <br />To speak <br />And splinters when it does <br />What it is supposed to do. <br /> <br />Look for me <br />Only if you intend to <br />Keep me like the trite <br />City buoy <br />Or the downtrodden tryst <br />That you always prattle about, <br />Seeing me in the afternoon <br />With the air tousling your hair <br />Into my direction. <br /> <br />But if not, <br />Please, I beg you. <br />Do not look for me. <br />This would not avail <br />Acquittal.<br /><br />Windsor Guadalupe Jr<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/don-t-look-for-me/
