Vanessa

Her discombobulated thoughts form curls
of raspy speech around the microphone.

Unforgettable memories of love and pain,
inseparable from each other,
bleed into the black mesh in front of her face,
down the wire and amplified out into the open
For all to bear witness

Each recollection hammering home the hammer blows
of her love and his pain
His love and her pain

The pane's of glass watch 20 years of tear of tears
drop past the last words from her trembling lips.
And I sit, unlit, contorted in the shadows
of her fractured past
