I am now a one-eyed poet, a one-eyed Jack <br />in a sea of dolphins that speak, <br />but I know not- I don't know- what they say <br />she is leaving me, and I must leave her. <br />I am sorry, for I love her very much. <br />But madness is over there while I am over here, <br />not knowing if it will get me with my one eye. <br />I am waiting in my one universe <br />that can be no one else's <br />She is not me, I am not she. <br />When I am blind, madness will be mine <br />and death will reign in nothingness.<br /><br />Fred Babbin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-now/
