he balanced
on the border
on the border
between
lunacy and cool
the slightest breeze
the slightest breeze
could tip the scales
and there was me,
the fool,
the fool,
to set him off
to kick his rageto shake the
angry lion’s cage
the egg shells that
i walked on
cracked
a misplaced word
has set us back
and it’s my fault,
of course
angry lion’s cage
the egg shells that
i walked on
cracked
a misplaced word
has set us back
and it’s my fault,
of course
i balance
on the border
on the border
between
mercy and divorce
