gender,
My girlfriend has a girlfriend
as pigeons flee the roost
Pronouns crying God knows what
knots are coming loose
I was my girlfriend’s boyfriend
when lines unblurred defined
My love abeyant, Limbo’s child
—left here misaligned

love,
Love fades away
life goes on
Music divorcing
words to a song
Into the darkness
into the night
Melody orphaned
absent the light
Love fades away
time stands still
Harmonies vagrant
memories chill
Voices celestial
echo alone
Love once abeyant
—life is disowned
