Love Lost

The last act of taut bodies
Learning only love’s strain

Some miscomprehension
In the dark aftermath

They count stars
Twinkling indifference

From a distance almost as far
As the space between them

These two lying on cold sheets
The icy brocade

Some random design abraiding them
One actor at a time will depart the trying scene

Make a way to the wings of a house
Gone quiet and dark

Each exiting the emptiness alone
