love, lies, and implosions

“Do you want to explode?”

The word reverberate
R-e-s-o-n-a-t-e

From the body
to the soul,

On June 6, 1999
Promises of Love, recklessly offered.


And taken away -
no warning, no protection

Words…
like escapees from a prison;
unleashed onto the innocent.

Leaving behind
…rippling implosions.
