Every so often a relationship there will be anger and fighting, the kind of conflicts that aren't easily resolved. Midnight revelry is a piece about some of the chaos and spiraling emotions that can threaten even the most perfect couples.
Midnight revelry
River run wild with silent tears
the demon that rests upon our
mantel will not shelter you,
he will not take his time to warm
your hands before the burning
blaze
He will not answer you,
the darkness will not let him
call-
the telephone resting in shattered
pieces by the door as the new look
cupboard rests against the wall
The awful green of curtains closed
to hide our shame from the leaking
white of moonlight that lays its hands
upon your scowling brow and I
trapping clothes and catching cold as
the door gapes wide and the gliding owls
announce a stranger’s footfall outside
an empty house.
