P. 29
He tossed and turned me I couldn’t help
but slinkishly slide
my words bounced around as I tried
explaining but he escalated petty plights
these flights
faulting our foundations; I insisted we
calm down
and down we went this tumbling with the
tide
no pride in our divide, now division
I wanted to turn around; start over with
precision
I told you I preferred stable ground
I prefer hazard less hikes abound
not heights, trekking unmarked trails
too unpredictable of a flight
can you see in-spite
of the whimsy
we ain’t getting nowhere, our love now
fragile and flimsy
