As I sit, listening to the ebb and flow of barroom conversation and laughter
Washing around the rock of my isolation, my dislocation from the world
I think of all the words that passed between us that day
When the dam of our love was breached by cataracts of frustration
Pressure from without and within inexorably finding the fatal flaw
Bringing the edifice crashing down around us, nothing left but smashed remains
Of what once seemed glittering, imperishable, till death do us part solidity
Now revealed in all its meretricious hollowness, swept away by life's pitiless tide

Love & best wishes to all
