Victor Perrotti Reads


existential crossroads

we arrive at the crossroads
with baggage in tow
sometimes too heavy, for one person

like frost
when he fled for the dismal swamp
in despair, of a rejected marriage proposal
or van gogh
when he cut off, a piece of his ear
in remorse, of having threatened his friend
— gauguin, with a razor
or you
when you contemplated suicide
in anguish, of believing
the world is a better place without you

comes profound sorrow to consider
i may never have taken
“The Road Not Taken”
i may never have stared into
Starry Night
and i may never have been touched
— by you
