Kleenex Et Champagne
from kleenex to champagne &
back again the torrid twister rips
through life with its emotional
whirlwind of idiosyncratic hang-ups
that show their face after a few months &
the inability to compromise on life
choices once dedicated to oneself now
sacrificed to the mindset of two &
the hurricane joins from just offshore
taking a weather made wrecking ball to
all the hopes & dreams that stirred in
the very beginning.
use the kleenex to wipe up the tears &
the champagne to wash down the anguish &
the kleenex to wipe up the blood & the
champagne to drown out the guilty voices in your
head knock knock knocking on the last door left
to that remote place where your sanity still
attempts to breathe.
