Country of One
She said nothing on that crystalline moring.
Echoes of sadness and rage radiated outward in myriad directions.
Her red-rimmed eyes avoided mine. Our affections had been diverging notions.
I whispered something, but she walked away. My words were trivial.
My heart, a numbed country of one, bombed and decorated in gnarled rubble, begged her to turn around.
If she did, my next words would be like planes dropped from the skies.
