Most Important Words
Tonight, I call forth my most important words, Implore them to console me, in this time of high anxiety, After formally saying good-bye, this afternoon, to Janie, Savior of my midlife, two decades ago, When the end of my first twenty-year love descended.
But they fail to assuage the pain of separation Waging full-scale war against my gentler angels, Who still lament the failure of our relationship, The union of two incomplete spirits that, tragically, Never really had a chance to coalesce
Yet tried their inadequate hearts' best, Out of a flawed yearning for passion and love, To make a go of their incompatible souls, Knowing, in the very marrow of their fragile bones, That this day had come, long before they'd even begun.
