Alas I bid adeiu
afore AM arises
and press your arms aside
as the axe cuts again
across my heart. We abide
this apex of apices,
accepting the appointed
pain. Always askew,
this abrupt awakening
of air and life accused.
Along the annotations
and all will avail,
for the althetes of our
love, anything for you.
The aftermath's arrived,
afar yet among us.
Neither average nor
above, and although
it's all around me,
I'd do it all again.
