don't delve unduly
what lies beneath the surface

through the bottom of a glass

when will this sadness end?
she asked, because she knew it must
we both could feel the cold lump of it
in our stomachs, welding us together
when we are both happy?

a set of randomly selected letters
it reprised the call of an albatross
fatally wounded

sadness enough to birth rivers
path shadowed by tears

Grey, cool rain persists
Days run together down drains
Mingling with lost years
