in torment as in love


in torment as in love

 

time, purple as agony,

ferments by the day

the nights’ purchased joys.

 

expensive toys blash

where  homemade bling

might do as well.

 

who told us space

would read our lips

tilted against the wind?

 

it is not so easy

to do as it is to know.
