Another Geoffrey poem

 Geoffrey's Eyes Spring Open

 

Geoffrey's eyes spring open,

like February crocus

in late March.

 

He suddenly realizes

the woman he has been holding hands with

for five months,

is

mad.

 

Her recent behavior

has driven his own,

eccentricities,

into the shallows.

 

Still,

now the light has changed,

and traffic is moving

once again,

isn’t this something

demanding a translator?

 

Geoffrey is still

hopelessly in love.

 

What does madness

have to do with anything,

anyway,

he asks,

providing you have

a pocket of white stones.
