The Resolution Of Romance









ACT III
love whispers with a knife

warning appears in apparitions of absence
that stir fear in their dreams
a measure of what could be lost

palms up with defensive wounds
they embrace

ACT IV
they are found

after wrong turns and riding on rims
truth is peeled like the skin of an apple
spiraling one long curve of flesh
the intention was to create sculpture

sufficiently lynched and swinging in syncopation
to the silent doors and separate rooms
hung by the resolution of romance

ACT V
feuilles mortes

he walks through Debussy
distorting impressionist waves
with the swing of his arms

her skin bristles
at the dissonance
as they murder silence

cold contented scars lay around the room
salved by cascading dead sheets that kiss the floor
