One day your going to pull the plug On all indifference Mingled.muted.apathy In a warm and dry basement There is no room for apologies No room for insincere devotion Keep the water out Or we will keep spinning Let us clash in our mutual decay Looking forward to the last reinvention The long and hard depth of learning Cold despite all of our relentless yearning We fed these hungry liars So now we own them The eyes lie still Yet crawl back for more We are running out of new ways To disappoint our old fruitful core |

This is intriguing. And it seems to me that there is hope weaved in. Love, Margherita |

Seems like a worn out love. But is it really? Superb metaphors! I really enjoyed this. Eric the writer views a critic like a fire hydrant would view a dog |

Naw. I see civilization within the structure of this poem. One which is crumbling around us in almost every way possible. ~ Never did I feel more devoted to my wife than after biting the wild garlic of treachery ~ |
