Wine flows, cheese is sliced, Hams and pâté grace the board, Cards fan in warm hands. Records spin, voices collide— Sunday’s hearth, food, and hearts burn.
Bipolar, they called it, the tide within me, Rising, falling, a moonlit frenzy. You, with your papers and promises made, Couldn’t meet the storm; your respect decayed, And I, adrift, watched the world betray me.
Evening sky reflects on the glass lake. The soldier of a tree carries on through the lonesome night. If we could only see the dreams of the fish, far from the frying pan.
