The Union

Shards of tears 
engrave memories
like a tattered glass
recalling years scarred by desire.

she went mountain climbing 
too high, gasped, got 
wedged like a pinched rose
then hoisted by a fish hook in the jaw.

he did 60 pills in 60 days
still uncured, he grabbed a feather
tickled a powder keg
and exploded.

this marriage was a crown of thorns.
