A thread of fondness glisten quiet Buried deep inside the muck All so vague, a knowing mistake Out of love. All out of luck. Leaves fall off. My tea shines, cold A final heartbreak No final home Fingers part, a newer start Feelings come unstuck. My eyes uncovered, my heart distilled. Flowers on a feathered field. Alone and pure and what? No strength to praise or blinding days A life of ifs and buts.
