he woke up cussing when she asked him to blow the candle out
she told herself that this would be the very last time that she would
endure his slovenly care of her
tea was a struggle
she had been coughing all night long
ciggarettes had come to claim her
she carried supplies for the day in her backpack
change of pants for work
make up, hair tyes and clips
she knew that life was full of unforseen disasters and creatures with little to give but their unsolictied opinions
perspectives that seemed rather fragmented
lost among the noise she found and add for a friend in need
disabled people with dignity
she could relate
lately the sex had been great
but nothing else was
that seperation between intimacy and sex had opened an old wound
she was leaking
angry and using his tool like a propeller in flight
one explosive moment to the next
her son liked him
that was a freak accident
normally her son ran them off
sabotage has been sabotaged
left to her own devices
one cheek on one cheek off

passion
aggression
fearfullness
anticipatory grief
and our time is short
on this earth
in this life
and vanity is no sin.

forever
yes forever
that's right
forever giveover life
forever
a long time to endure the nonchalance
forever wove it's web
around the throat of time
and choked off all the aching yearning meanderings of mind
forever after
die
forever after
lie
forever after
hide
forever after
what an absurd
wave of life
forever after
is a shade of fools
who've lost the sunlight
stared at the moon
wandered off into the tide
drowned
in that inevitable sea
forever after
the oceans rise
forever after
covers me
