Poems
Feb 2014
threads
wine stains on the shelf
a flash of irritation ended
coverless on the couch
separateness lingers into morning
politeness papers over open wounds
where repairs could have been made
memory wire refuses to uncoil
we'd overwound the pound-shop threads
of our connection
scraped each filament to fronds
that could part at any moment
but didn't
we argue our differences, forget
to celebrate our samenesses
sensing barriers
where none are
