Unraveling

(this actually a rondolet, a shortened form of rondeau)

Unraveling 
Stitches from our wedding quilt
Unraveling
Your so-called “business traveling"
Anniversary streamers of guilt
25 years - the life we built
Unraveling

S.B., this terse quilt of humanities knots says lots, in a mere 22 words. May mending retie the bonds. ;-)
