Inkblots on tissues
Of stories we’d create
Of toxicities and fate
Intolerance and shifting reason
Collapses and lapses
Dots connected and counted
Back and forth
As they eclipsed to side stepping
Our greatest victory,
the entwined catastrophy
Rolling and hazed
Inept of trying
Getting back on my feet
Caressing crinkled receipts
Of spirited visits
To halls that served the
Impeccable and careless
Wise and young
Succcessful and passionate
Kind and rash
Loyal and inane
Lovers and lovers
On shards we crawl
