Poem For Poet's Sake
T J Rintoull

I bled out westward
Staring into the beige benign
Cerebrum of soul
Searching for stark contrast
But knowing deep within
That mellow medleys of Byronian refrain
Were not about
And there would be no return

Still I bled out westward
Soul deprived
Depraved disgusted and demonized
At least
That was my lonesome self-review
Narcissus was never a friend
To any
Other than himself

Yet still I bled out westward
Left of north
North of south by ninety degrees
No sorrow
Only Oberon's laughter on my consience
I was reminded
Nobody
Really knew him anymore

So why did I bleed out westward?
Harsh and cold
Sunset burning cancers into craters on my skin?
No reason
It simply seemed succinct
To strike out westward
When every other poet
Had started walking east.
