- Ex-boyfriends in old haunts
- Old hedgerows emerge and the
- Grandest point remains
- It comes fast and hard
- The most pristine point of contention
- Ah, yes, that was why
- We wouldn’t remain together
- Why
- We we remain forever
- Opposed
- The sticking point
- I am simultaneously relieved and defeated
- Perhaps not to smack my head against this particular wall again
- But to see the suffering and frustration in the eyes of a man
- Once so treasured
- Having known a Love’s deepest stores
- And the years blur and melt away
- Yes, it’s the same defeated slouch of shoulder
- Yes, they’re the same eyes
- Yes, they swell and redden in the very same way
- But now it’s not in conflict
- It’s in commiseration
- And that’s worse
- Because the parity of Love without consequential remorse
- Love for merely affection’s sake
- Asking for no answer or culpability
- Love because of Love
- And sorrow and commiseration for only the
- Fact of a history of understanding.
