Illusions

An illusion
within a delusion
he created me--
my not so secret admirer...
he woos with detailed letters
about glass bottles
discovered in alleys,
his predilection for raspberries,
and, once, described
touching himself
when a funeral procession
passed on his street,
stalked by a crazy woman
waving a white rose.

He said she reminded
him of me.
