The seed of sickness
we started
so long ago
still tearing
through rich soil
through so much potential
spreading
spreading
until the words we throw
turn to money
turn to gold
feed lawyers
and dreams
of houses we could have had
of orchards we could have grown
of holidays we could have spent
together
hugging
not spitting
not slinging venom
through certified letters
and damning depositions
all designed
to tear us further
and further
apart.
