misread
by Jeff Kurfess
It?s been a mighty upset
Since our love was overthrown
The nights have lost their valor
And Gibraltar?s turned to bone
The suitors slung their arrows
Drove their daggers through the mist
I stood there in the fallout
With your letters in my fist
The pages scattered softly
Dying petals to the wind
Drifting off in earnest
Where your words had never been
