The Ache of Our Estate

we hoard for hearts busted by our storm
we enable the swarm caused by our norm

stability is tainted by uneven balances of change
i wonder what the central truths of ourselves can possibly arrange

you stay in your kerchief and i in my cap
for once we unwind from our zigzagging entwining, it is all pretty much a rap

when the laughter comes and the frustration and tears dissipate,
we are finally able to create the antidote to adequately cure the ache of our estate
