POEM - Blurred Vision


BLURRED VISION


Not sure,
just not sure
whether I can
even settle
on vagueness
as a definition
for sure.

There maybe
a clear reason
an underlying
sediment to
everything

But
how sure
could anyone
be about that?

Could vagueness
be just
out of focus
doubt?

Doubt
beautifully
shot through crinkled water
or smears of Vaseline

Doubt
concealed
behind the
smokescreen
of other emotions

Doubt
with the headlights
switched off.

Doubt
whispered
rather than declaimed
spoken
sotto voce
to imaginary friends
after midnight

Doubt
smothered
under my pillow
whilst I was
half asleep.
