Love's Comeuppance

Not touching what some sinews
left as if an accident made this.

One series of hairs on a palm
back are more increasingly

disturbed and a habit forms;
stood valiantly up and then

stopped standing for that straining
reason, laid silent and glistened.


Solitude in love's comeuppance
as thin rivulets come together

and diverge again, or one
merges with other and loses it.
