Broken chair

Hearts breaking are not
Shards of sorry coupes 
After a clumsy twirl To
See who is still watching
No, that's a new love that
Shatters you across the floor
Hearts break like chairs do
Becoming less and less
Comfortable over years
Attic-bound until holidays
Meant to be reupholstered
A rainy weekend projet
You keep remembering
Hearts break like a radio
Broadcasting mostly fuzz
But still able to find a station
If you give it a good shake

Not Yet Met

 In a rare moment of levity,

I found myself hanging from an ankle:

When you can do this, to me,

then you can have your way.

Impossible, you ate all the rich

food you could find, ended up

with a laser pointed at your toe,

nights of what is this oh god,

so I can't return what was not

a favour unless the favour descends.
