a close relative
has died
she went to the funeral
yesterday
yet on her face
is a half-filled smile
nothing to show for her grief
he's in trouble
with the the wife
again
he begged her to stay
all night
yet in his voice
is a strong-willed promise
acting like work's a relief
two worlds
that turn in
turmoil
unspoken on the outside
two hearts
that burn in
bedlam
anchored apart, side by side
(mute)
