#10 4/28

Young girl, awash in enchantments
the magic of great journeys

Hands entwined, eyes full of oceans
a long and winding road

A heart is knit.  A heart unravels.
the tyranny of time

An alien land, a thousand voices
alone inside the din

The tiny mouth, demanding eternity
so many empty rooms

His whiskey smile, quivering flashbacks
a fool's gold promise

Wet pillow, waking nightmare
some deflected blows

A slamming door, clicking locks
another final straw

A heart is hardened.  A door opens
hands are always out

A fat grey cat, who used to be skinny
lounging on the porch.
