Best Poems Written by Stuart Silverman

The Narcissist

Like dragon flies 
your words fly into my face 
a trail of smoke 
fills the air 
I cannot answer your questions
Dry dirt
shows the cruelty of time 
I lie still in the field 
I assume you interpret my silence 
I am unable to answer 
You read my eyes 
I fling it all back to you 
in my mind.  I manage to laugh 
The dust flies in my eyes 
finds wings and breaths
fire into you.  “Get me out of this barren field 
you fool!
You roll into the dust
and I am alone
