The Tender Correspondence between Comets
I am in the company of shocked quartz
And though we have a good rapport,
My structurally distressed friend seldom supports
When the pressure becomes too great.
Let it be noted we are not the aftermath of Hiroshima:
Little Boy’s conception followed eons after
Around which, I developed pulmonary emphysema.
Bronchial tubes inflame beneath the crustal rock.
A healthy hopeful demeanor is maintained.
Comely Haley’s has promised a reunion
Where she can then comfort me unrestrained,
And I will deeply inhale her iridium fumes.
