Illusion of Loss
Kurt MacPhearson and Rick Yennick
time bubble like soap
foam to the surface
coating your lose dreams
scum on the pillow
where your partner should be
singing a sorrowful
lullaby-dirge
you self-pitying loser
steeping sheet corners
in your briny tears
margarita glasses only break once
so what are you waiting for
the world still whirls without you
love’s a heartless bitch
but it doesn’t mean
you have to let them both win
