Tension Makes A Tangle

as frail hinges
pivot on a case's door
commemorative
souvenirs from places
containers change
with each occasion
the cellophane encased
display of paper
certificate
to credit years of service
a tool of central enterprises
the early hope
for permanence
the words
the rings
consistency
the social security
a miracle is high tragedy
thought mistaken
for a memory
clear the dust from
smiles in boxes
pass a patterned wall
recall their voices
a local post
will list your friends
in order
of disappearance
the lawn scattered
tins feed birds
a portion baked for
absent guests
and the mass edition icon
God sent comfort
your salvation
but who grants absolution
for sins
that never were committed
tension makes a tangle
of each thought becomes
an inconvenience
sound as it never penetrates
as
servile edges break and feint
and
thought mistaken
for a memory
a dress length
assassination
a fractured family tie
another christening
a christening
a fractured family tie
and another christening
christening
christening
thought mistaken
for a memory
a dress length
assassination
a fractured family tie
another christening
a christening
a fractured family tie
and another christening
christening
christening
christening
