Romance exists,
just as much as bullshit exists,
to get into those tight pants you’re wearing,
but I want to stay and help with the laundry
and fold those pants with you later.

Do you feel them?
The shackles.
They chafe and bruise.
Pull against, and they pull back.
Invisible.
Tangible yet they be.
For they have a weight,
a bite…
a substance,
of the foulest metal known to man.
Strong….
welded upon your wrists
For there is no key.
Yet you walked into
them willingly
Inserted hands,
clasps closed.
Acetylene torch bright
heat burning
Skin blistering.
Hands plunged
into cold water
to quench and
strengthen the binding.
Shackles fade from sight
scars heal,
All to the naked eye.

Cracks…..cracks…they run through us…veins of traveling fissures
leaking god knows what.
How long ago was your fall ? Mr. or Miss.
And do you know what you miss?
That once held you together.
Can you find that moment in time…where your mind
teetered,
then tottered.
Arms flailing….you plummeted
that hole in the pit of you widening.
and then something just died.
inside.
They call me Humpty that rhymes with my last name
Dumpty.
The king horses scotch taped me up and superglued my butt
I’m walking …I’m talking…Breathing through
a cracked gut.
But I’m breathing..
Not a yolk sizzling in the sun.
