I don't mind



My first poem in a few years. Happiness is not conducive to poetry.



Don’t mind me
Paying too much attention
To the creases in your shirt,
Under your eyes.

Were it up to me
I’d see you happy;
Were it up to me
I’d see you free.

I’d see you off-
Mind how you go –
Knowing you’d forget me;
Just as it should be.
