Pacify Me

Tom foolery, Sparking intense anxiety Led by panting and arguing And violent door slamming. A woman leaves. Tears, gracing her eyes A man recedes, Fearful anger proceeds An annoyed man Sets out all his plans His tools in place His anger, as he tries to ease. The woman, it seems Goes out, not as pleased Immersing in work And in fallacious day dreams. She, returns in the end. The whole journey, disconnected She ascends A bell sings, and the door comes loose again. Quiet ignorance, I believe Silent treatment, ensues For neither of them, I see, Are prepared to yield. A covert argument A disastrous feat Still bickering and droning So nasty, that screech With dusk, comes an epiphany Love, silently revealed An apology, both necessary And indulgently concealed The canker, it rests As geese and gander lay down their vests For an uproar that will accompany Another sad and poignant apology by Amanda.M.Miller
