Heart rending,
your sorrow, beyond
a poets mean to remedy
splits itself upon my sacrificial stones,
what comfort there is in misery,
itself, multiplies your misery,
they, the harbingers, bring you
only sorrow,
my hands, bound by your love,
cannot move to turn their curse
back upon them,
we instead, underserving,
bear their curse
perhaps, when
patience runs its course,
and resentment, mature,
readies itself for the harvest,
my hands will break their bindings
and those harbingers of sorrow
will reap their karma
in dust and misery
