The shedding of the skin of attachment
Exposed a new pattern of circumstances
Never envisioned
During the romantic promises of
"Til death do us part."
A marraige now brutally crushed
Like the head of a snake
By a speeding tire,
Poison-spewing fangs driven
Into and broken upon
The brutal hardness of asphalt.
With the severing of bonds
Comes the shadows of wings;
Black-robed ravens
And carrion-feeding lawyers
Flutter down to feast
Upon the corpse.
Soon barflies
And lounge lizards
Will join them
To devour the remains.
