Soft, Floating Smiles

Soft, Floating Smiles

I could swear upon a hundred days
that the formal life leads to death,
that my chin could break in rigor
with soft, floating smiles.

The eyes stern form pity for the idle self,
that I may call a worn vision the fire
that clings after burning,
and the wish of bane in joyful wiles.
