Poem #167 of 365

I used to tease you
in mock-anger about
whistling circus music
in my house

but then I learned
how real
your anger
gets to be, so
indulgent, bloated.

I wish the memory
of your calliope tunes
could drown out the
bellows, the fire in
your eyes,

and that what I feel
now could somehow
qualify as mock-sadness.
