He wanted to be like William Blake



Beside a lake
sunlight
and liquid
movement creates
a shimmering - a million jewelled insects
fan their wings upon water.

On a train jotting
in his notebook,
the movement
and the reflection in the glass
bring dislocation;
conscious of
the girl across from him
watching as he writes.

Reads his notes,
feels a fragment of heart
slip away like a doe
into the depth of a hunter’s forest.
Wolf and prey both
forever doom him.
