It’s been awhile

a long quite while between a frown and a smile

with degrees of distinction we continued to compile

seldom in agreement, contradictions flow runway style

Yet i reflect

The moment a union commenced to wreck o heck

what was i thinking if at all, headlights blinking regret

pausing at caution speeding past the stop and yet

crumbling confusion left bruises and contusions sweat

brows drenched with pain like cosmos spilling rain

upon us both to wash in new hope as dawn dries the stain
