LOVE TORN BREACHES
Did you remember your first love torn breach;
You wandered the avenues back and forth, like
Restless leaves blowing in an unforgiving wind.
You seemed so alone and would remain so for
Such a long time. And the sun that was once a
Comfort seemed to scorch and rain pelted fiercely.
Irreconcilable differences the court papers read but
That didn’t explain the haunting day after day from
The lost of my sweet Georgia. She was on my mind
Yes, ole Ray Charles came out with that song that
Year as if to bookmark my broken heart. I listened
To that plaintive song on my car radio while cruising.
The world seems to be full of discards: divorce parents,
Stray cats, homeless people and pariahs of all kinds. It
Is kind of a toilet assumption; we flush the unwanted.
We cannot grasp eternal natures here on earth, for it
Seems that the mute gravity of disquiet and disputes
Circulates among us and fosters love torn breaches.
