Monday. 01.04.10

Of this, we will not speak:

My daughter's voice.
The aching tightness of hope.
Hatred of nude sex.
Whispered prayers and answered curses.
Impatience with your good fortune.
Enemy nights tilting at guilt and resentments.
Alienation amongst the alienated.
Disappointment in small talk and in you.
