Peace of Mind on Fire

Peace of Mind on Fire

Anyone can
float along
as happy
as can be

when everything
is happy as
their comfort
takes a pee.

Yet when the pressure's more than they
with comfort's loss
can bear,

it's then
we find
the truth
of all

in pain
when
touching
there.

Under all
the glittered bites
whose jagged
edges blur,

we find the need
for cleaning blood
with frankincense
and myrrh.

But in
that spinning spiral
as the threshold
peaks its spurs,

the romance
of the ages
rocks
as entropy concurs.

Author's Note
Instead of letting our protests out as they develop, we ofter gather them into a toxic explosion the relation cannot revive from.
