Addictive it is
this disrepair
for it requires
a more intoxicating mending
We only break
that which we can shatter
We unhinge
what longs to be tightened
As it was slowly loosened
long ago
We numb the insatiate fear
With that which we can taste
Quickly
Urgently
Blurring our interior vision
Imprisoning our possibility
When do we cease giving toward
that which we adore
and begin giving away
to that which we abhor

The layers of meaning here are varied, which I find to be a benchmark for good verse.
It leaves questions in the mind.
Splendid work Deborah...Welcome to the den. I will be looking forward to more of your work.
