He takes in the view
all the lines and spaces
curves and wiggles traced
their flow and punctuation
top to bottom, footnotes
nothing hidden from him
He turns the pages over
no choice, she made him
dense close packed tension
no clarity or meaning
she too complicated for him
too deep too dark he leaves
Eric, this is so beautiful and heartfelt. It touches my soul.
