She and I reside together.
No less but a stranger,
Clinging to the phantom
Of her eldest daughter.
Heโs away, excuses many
โMaking a life for you.โ
My life falls apart and
Where are you?
Charybdis swallowed them
Long ago.
No longer do I know
Where, who, what they are.
Fungi spread images
Tell tales of different lives,
Upturned curves and fancy lights
All that are faded lies.
Gone;
Not with the wind but
The last Haleyโs comet.
Light years away.
Us three strangers.
With carved stone smiles
Breaking out sometimes
Beginning our unceasing mimes.
We arenโt broken, but we could be.
