My Accismus

You were the only face by which I wanted to be known By now, you know that to which you have blown I'm quivering like you see right through my accismus It's spoken softly with a definite trismus But I didn't see our connection as an isthmus It was deeper than granite; it was bedrock that should not be easily missed You could've known me for a long time, in which we would've both been more than sun-kissed Our existence, where most likely others would have been sharply, soundly, and quickly dismissed Holding onto someone like an unbalanced table leg, I will not be leveled like others you've known You choose to lose everything we had.... everything we had..... I will not let any more of myself be shown

I respond so deeply at times to the tragedy of my friend's pains. Someone close to me has been going through a very difficult separation and divorce. Some of my poetry is about my own. But a portion of it is channeling the pain of them. People that I know and that I'm friends with. Trying in my mind to understand and also empathize with there real life. So much sadness. It goes unnoticed, also unacknowledged. I will not ignore it all.... A.S.
