Tumultuous. Reeling, Careening Collision
Agonizing, perpetually strategizing
Twisting its away
you're away
A gap of loss
The crows feet take flight
around your eyes seeing years
of promised futures entwined
Glorious, the return grateful
but why again,
twisting away under my hands
I can't hold on.
Shadows, smells, trinkets
Collars, leashes
Quicksand I'm sinking
into what I saw coming
Twisting away again.
Oh sweet God
sweet dreams you fed me.
We took pleasure
in the shared imaginings
Sweet mornings
Laid entwined
while the assured
mutual path slowly
and to our painful cry
split like old dry wood
ready for burning
