Regret to rehearse
12 February 2016
The memory
Pregnant with silence
Fluttering
Inside heart
There is a fork where we part
Twining in futures
They speak soft
Of renewed endings
Rising high
Skidding fast
I lurch beyond my own past
Of broken treasures
Unchained hymns
Sing to my bosom
Chances slim
Where I meet
The tidings of our defeat
Suspended in air
The waves roll
Breaking on the shores
Where they flee
Thoughts that breathed
Invented by you and me
A world sprawled hopeful
We kill dreams
Mindless death’s tailors
Sewing firm
Soul will squirm
We merely tighten the seams
Threads pins and scissors
My mind blank
A throbbing beat haunts
Heart that sank
Into spleen
While everyday wiping clean
Memory of the taunts
Careless hands
They shuffle shaking
A loose deck
Where cards curse
Folly of their own making
Regret to rehearse
