Miss Havisham
Anticipation, a stage encapsulate in time.
He takes the burden of my all my wrongs and
the blame for all my transgressions.
I read the words in your eyes, I taste your facial pity.
But you are all the lighted fools, for I am not Macbeth, and my tomorrows are tomorrows.
My life is not a "walking shadow" and I am not a " poor player. "
I bask in certainty, just as the hog predicts the spring,
I hold back the finish.
