Ebony Towers

Splitting the difference
Between meum and tuum
All these years together
Under the ether
Dream wife or...
Reading your hands as
They suture my soul

Hang on to mine for clarity
In scaffolding nightmare
Pacing the sanitarium in ecstasy
Dance with me to...
To...
If you know, you know

The gentile Herzl or Lansky
Don't leave me like Alexander II
I can't read or recall
how or why he died here

The ativan is kicking in
Last breathe of nervous focus
I let go

I like it.

It reminds me of schism (Tool)

"The poetry that comes from
The squaring off between
And the circling is worth it
Finding beauty in the dissonance
There was a time that the pieces fit
But I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smouldering
Strangled by our coveting
I've done the math enough to know
The dangers of our second guessing
Doomed to crumble unless we grow
And strengthen our communication"

Everything is open to interpretation

I hear wild teens or turkeys from the treeline now
