Temporary Measures

Mysteries of love, revealed . .
Tempted to know . .
Siphoned to blow with the wind . .
Split to go . .
Shifted to destroy.

A girl and a boy . .
A woman and a man . .
A dog and it’s toy.
The errors we share . .
In store, forevermore.
Driftwood on the shore line . .
In order, to even the score.

Rough edges . .
Drafting pledges and aim . .
Splitting memory, any which way.

The Grand Illusion
Scatters them all!
To be found again, half alive . .
Begging to compete with notions
Of being nursed to equivalency.
