We will discuss disconnections –
such things we must trust
in this poker face card place
of marriage-discourse
We will flip expectations –
like a shark wrists the deck
We will turn the dealt hand
counting down to slow death
Our marriage is skewered
on the spun-turned spit
here both parts are scorched
now the heat has ripped
Our future fixes divide
to avoid offspring hurt
No one is to blame
as the pain now burns
