Sunglasses

I will wear sunglasses
so as to hide the tears which form in my eyes
for a man is not supposed to cry,
so they say,
and because of this:
my heart I have kept in a safe.

But I will wear sunglasses all the same
for I am emotional as poets come
as emotional as Thomas who found solace in a bottle
as emotional as Byron who went to Avalon without a drink.

For my feelings I carry with me, visible for you to see
like Ernst
