Back to an older poem to try to make something different out of it…
Two small curves
sloping down to a point
sharp enough
to fit any opening
The shape
in abstract
elevated to icon
The object of itself
cursed in its presence
mourned in its absence
sometimes
the green-eyed monster
in disguise
Mistaken for everything else
often both weapon and salve
a force to be reckoned with
frequently confused
misused, mistrusted
Sooner or later
we’re all busted
We don’t know
what to do with it
but it’s all we really want
isn’t it?
