Unpredictable



In some relationships
the circus trainer
bearing fangs

cracks the whip
There are no clowns
to assuage the fears

No one
to tame the wild beast
within

No artist
to restore
Love's shattered vessel

Blood
drips through cracks
in a wooden floor

Tomorrow
the funeral will begin
at four
