disjointed regret

retreat into dark corners
soft shapes resilient
giving to my crush and set
bones heavy organ'd blood

pangs in a twirling
give back the shredded
nourishment of a holiday
comforting customs
sit uneasy in my belly

I sacrificed goodness for pleasure
moral inequality
dear lives ones of deadened neglect
one day better nurtur'd
and dreamed of comes to the weary
