All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
(Tolstoy)
peeling like paint weathered
by constant storm and drama
still
I watch you wearing my shoes
following the pathways
of the family pas de deux
(that Tolstoy defined)
with
my hand stretched out
to heal and help
but may not touch
you
must pass through each gate
it is what it is, you say
steel already tempered
though
the inlays faded on the blade
the pie crust sodden
the curtain tattered
too
little hope of healing that
que sera sera
I'll reclaim my shoes
to
set you footloose and free

(Tolstoy)
second hand corrosion
flaking like puff pastrypeeling like paint weathered
by constant storm and drama
still
I watch you wearing my shoes
following the pathways
of the family pas de deux
(that Tolstoy defined)
with
my hand stretched out
to heal and help
but may not touch
you
must pass through each gate
it is what it is, you say
steel already tempered
though
the inlays faded on the blade
the pie crust sodden
the curtain tattered
too
little hope of healing that
que sera sera
I'll reclaim my shoes
to
set you footloose and free
