the beasts that till your poisoned soil
carve patterns in your furrowed brow
that signify the burdens borne
in the silence of your tortured nights
and the futility of your empty days
now you sup from a bitter cup
while reciting your litanies of spite
of love’s bloody negotiations
and the terrible price you paid
for such slight return
your sadness tastes like ashes
you have told yourself you’ve had enough.
