August 2010 to April 2011

Word for word, We beat the love Out of each other *

Like hammer - Blows crack rock, And water- Wears granite Smooth- Day by day, Our rage poisons- Everything.

Memory is - A wound kept raw; closure is An uncertain salve.

The End. Sigh *Line shamelessly purloined from Yousef Komunyakaa’s Once the Dream Begins.
