All I ever envisioned was a fantasy of happiness
it can never come true even when it does
something’s never quite right in the event
even in the one rare moment
an unfolding within a single breath.

You flinch you are ejected you turn away
as if from a hard light too bright
remove yourself from the heart of happiness
because you sense it harbors disappointment.

You can feel it waiting in the wings to make an entrance
an uninvited guest eager to spoil the party
but you always leave that door open
it’s your way out to the big empty
where nothing is evident and everything is still possible.
