This communication situation has run out of harmony

as acts of separation are snowballing

right into your welcoming smile

& no matter into what direction you look or listen

single worlds of words are circling enraged

around their lonely and impotent echo

Sense is twisting

into a cold splatter

of non

Yet you resolve to remain calm and unimpressed

peace of head and heart

even as coldness hits your singing mouth
