RETURN

RETURN

how do I read
your great stories, grand tales?

today I found you
crafting a supreme narrative

left me wondering if
it should reach me
how I should
withhold access
strive for
it not to get to me?

do not wish
to be accused of
complicity in this affair
subterfuge
in this region

stuff
   deeply subtextual, skimming
my surface,
            dropping decoys
                beneath all radar
