The Mother Of All Errors.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

she regrets
having to split with her
she wants to restore
what was originally
theirs, but, , ,

there is this big but,
there is no way that she can come back
and take her hands again

it is simply impossible
the world as affected shrinks into
a valueless
cent, and those who surround her
will never like it,

she went into a tantrum
unable to read the name of her medicine
her own dose of
her own poison

bad karma, she finds herself in a situation
of a dilemma

she is cursed to be alone now,
crushed by her own loneliness

defeated by the power of her own guilt
Kim.
