A loss
Of passivity, solidity. Comfort.
Haggling
With guilt, wretchedness, self.
Relativity
Of time- ill, (over)due.
Desperation
As he held onto the tear she'd left on his nose.
Wrestle
Of ease versus honour.
The world shook
Or did they.
Decency kept her awake.
As salt water kept her company.
Languid
In motion and mood.
Eight months bartered
For temporary happiness.
Winter is an awful time to be alone.
Summer she was beaming.
Who's sorry now.
***
I saw a face in the moon tonight.
Undisguised and low,
As if moping along with me.
