Stefanie Fontker Poems

Am I a fool, to fool myself?
I once suspected that you love,
If only through your unmoved eye,
And your look of eternity.
...

Infinite wisdom resides in you,
And the depth of a thousand seas.
Within you is the key to
Understanding more than humanity.
...

If I am such
A walking cliché,
A stereotype on
An infinite high,
...

Your love does rest
Hidden in a valley unlike
The ones you know in your heart
Growing like the rest of you
...

I would hurt you
If this heart
Would permit it
My death would
...

It is easy to forget
What I refuse to remember
The soft feeling
Your hands once claimed
...

Crossed at a time of peril
Who do you think you are?
Touch me and I'll kill you
Swoon, dear girl- For I am
...

My bleak heart
Has rejected the cure
To her poison.
I would rather
...

Sexualized and idolized,
Doped up and burned out.
We eat the meat of the weak,
And snort anything white
...

Do you cry, like me,
Under the veil
Of eternal earth?
I want to live,
...
