Star-crossed, ©2008-14. Ink and acrylic on paper.
Prologue
Any pair of lovers might
find their fate
star-crossed.
What might mine have been
had my kin put
a period
at the end
of the paragraph
in the last chapter
of the book
of their life,
so full it was
of mutiny and strife,
and not left me here
now
with the errand
to mend
a better end.
