Simplicity

A Poem

That simplicity doesn’t register even as the battle goes sideways/ & who declared this war? As the expressions spiral away as time begins its process of separation — an ungluing That travel picture that warrant for regard & the shapes of all the hearts we’ve ever thrust between us piled into an unassuming heap A dog sent out to never come back But all this leaving this swinging back & forth just becomes the simple structure of a revenge that turned into a battle & shouldn’t have happened
