Strong emotions defeat reason--a lot.

Two water signs in the house
ocean full of waves tonight.
He said,
she said--
“No, I didn't!”
“Yes, you did!”
“I didn’t mean…”
“Oh, yes, you did!”
It's a life sentence.

Moon pulls,
unmooring him,
"Why did you do that?
You never think of me!”
Righteous, he’s right:
Wondering, IS he right?
It’s a life sentence.

Moon flies through the clouds,
maple tree filigree,
waiting the storm out--
Always and
Never—Knots in
the third degree--
it's a life sentence.
