I felt shocked and disoriented.<\/p>\n
It sounded like a reckoning in my ear<\/p>\n
North, south, west, east, there and here.<\/p>\n
Even if I decided to shut my ears –<\/p>\n
to all head-scratching, the ear hears.<\/p>\n
I sat quietly, musing on the repercussions<\/p>\n
of her mood oscillations.<\/p>\n
Seemingly the following day<\/p>\n
I might lose sight, NAY!<\/p>\n
It seems my head was below my legs<\/p>\n
As shadow lurks around the eggs.<\/p>\n
I had already failed to write a piece<\/p>\n
Perhaps my only peace isn’t her peace.<\/p>\n
I could have pitied my piety<\/p>\n
but I wasn’t fully conversant with the way she conversed.<\/p>\n
So her last word went like a sword<\/p>\n
Look at me bleeding in a surgical ward<\/p>\n
Should I fix the holy hand brake?<\/p>\n
Or I should keep bearing the folly of heartbreak?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
