Divorce Is

desolation

a constant exodus

a rampant exile

a desert wandering

a deep loneliness

a bloodless cutting off


invisible death

darkness


a tortuous dungeon

a benumb depression


deliciously devil-like


a sullen sickness

a stole of shame


a dingy veil is a

calculated covering

of a wo/man's distant dying


It is a quaquaversal turn

to whithersoever

to wheresoever

to wherever forever


It is not of G-d

yet is continually common

to wo/man on earth
