Breakages
Poetry of life
Sometimes the heart breaks where it wouldn’t break before
Just where all the trying seemed to happen Simple lies unfold.
Answers bring no magic thing There’s no clarity from all our grieving.
Mostly the world stops in my common trance of pain Here is no food for thought Death is calling out my name.
How can words be helpful when you smile across the desk, Speaking through the money glow and still vocationless.
Why can you not hear or see, Your heart isn’t great enough for me.
Sometimes the hope stops where it wouldn’t stop for years
Just where all the sunshine seemed to happen We are silences.
Beauty brings no magic thing down at the ungrateful curse of living.
I hardly go to sleep at night All my words are muffled then denied.
Sometimes the heart breaks where you never knew it could
Far out in the ocean full of chairs
Let us die misunderstood.
