NEVERTHELESS

NEVERTHELESS

raid?
deconstruction?

we can argue about it:
fact remains
with raincoats and
torches

you forced your way
into my poem
in the middle
of the night

outside
     no mob with
pitchforks but
a pyre nevertheless

what is to be burned?
I ask; you
do not bother
to grace
  this question
with
an answer

of course, it is one
of the great questions
of all time

whose true answer
in this context,
this situation,
   makes not much
difference

no
difference at all
