Depth

How much room do you leave
Between the strokes
Of genius and emotion
How simple a task
To undo the mask
And hone another illusion
How pale a face
Inside your grace
Left to a simple confusion

None can take
What was never given
Without a cumbersome balance
Of intellectual dissolve
To stay the tides
Of a simple slight
There can only be
These shallows of
Uncaring
