Oh yes-
I screamed
as it
rushed
gushed
while I
pushed
and then
it was
hushed
lights-out.
we came-reached-left
within moments 1.
the death of a storm
the last blink
in the tail
of a wild comet
but with a tale
that something
would be born while
I-pause-we did
cheap born
a n d
while I got the cheque
for it
her phone calls started
and became
frantic
I smiled-thought-acted
within moments 2.
planning a surprise I barged in
with my gift
only to find her gone
faucet-running
water-rising
in the overflowing bathtub
there were shards afloat
that
swam
swirled
swooped
in the crimson ocean
my gift
fell inside the vertigo
as I saw some pulp
on my brand new shoe.
lights-out.

Simple, yet complex. If u ask me. It's easy to read but must b paid close attention tho so it unfolds right. This is what contradiction looks like when its goin against itself. Great poem. Love your work
