where the broken healers are
A poem on a weathering love
Less a bitten lip and sultry glance,
across a tenebrous bar,
than a bitten tongue, and second chance
when rash words would go too far:
There's the heart of true romance,
Where the broken healers are;
A weathering love's a deep, deep dance
to the song of the grace-kissed scar.
