how
many young lovers
hearts are broken
souls tossed aside
falling
falling
down, to the darkest places,
scorched earth and shattered vases.
smiling faces looking down
at
the fallen..
helpless
[helpful] people
reaching down, but never (deep
)enough;
loss;pain;fate;indifference
surely there is nothing (but turtles)
all the way
-down;
