Heart Songs (in a time of war)

The splitting of our life
the negotiation
of heart songs
Marvin for me
Joni for you
A game of 'penny up the wall'
for Emily Dickinson
and a pitched scream
slammed door
raged hurricane
for that signed
Henri Cartier-Bresson
photograph
all these things
that glued us
are now
naked items
to be played and read
to be stared at
in new rooms
with each
others shadows
for company
you state that
'time will erode feeling
and that time
will create indifference'
but I know
you are gloating
from the perspective
of a winner
as in the end game
of every war
ever fought
