It would spell sure doom...

how can not it's splendor not fill our very being

bitterness and pain
Suffered physical...

Alone at heart—
About the time I’m
Falling apart—
I call you.

Your voice... so sweet,
Like a melody
Easy to follow,

Is my heart becoming warm—

When I’m speaking with you
My mind begins...

The College Caravan

Last night we loaded the minivan with her
suitcases, Rubbermaid vats, and chest of plastic drawers
stuffed with clothing, toiletries, school supplies, and posters.
While our vehicle is tightly packed, her room stands hollow;
drained of stuff...

helpless to escape, a cherry red inferno, in the sky.
Black billowing smoke, now hangs horizontal as a flag,

She is
 sallow-skinned, salacious, seductive beauty,
  secure, safely sequestered in seclusion;
   sinking, shaking, shattered, submerged 
self-contained, self-centered in selfless solitude

Number One, out of Three

Sadly, badly is the way I handled it.
Things were falling apart, nothing fit.
