Jars of the life and lights broken by experience
Become nigh-impossible to carry in the spectacles
Of secret, of sabbath, of torment made commonplace
"Never ask why"
"To have and to hold"
Even as a customary phrasing
Is man ever the occupier, the jailer;
Brown-shirted in what is alleged to be a home
Behind the fences of possessive love
Ravines beckon as sacraments of a dissolute God
From wanting a companion to wanting no trouble
Are the hands folding under the hopes broken by faith
Curling to avoid any stretch toward former goals
For it is the end of any distinct Her
As the bearer of this Leftover Tuesday expects without giving
