of the rhythmic, deafening rocking<\/p>\n

of time as I waited for you and<\/p>\n

in that moment, angrily rolling<\/p>\n

in our bed, with the sheet over<\/p>\n

my eyes and ideals, be they lofty<\/p>\n

or just simply the incantations<\/p>\n

that clear my mind of whose or which<\/p>\n

harsh prose. \u00a0Stammering over the<\/p>\n

anger to get past the golden yellow,<\/p>\n

to start the new morning<\/p>\n

no longer ‘we are’, but now ‘were’<\/p>\n

forming meaning from stanzas<\/p>\n

that cut brutally short of<\/p>\n

creatively giving love or worth to gibberish.<\/p>\n
