LOVE'S LABOUR LOST

 “We’d tell our recipe

But it’s a secret.....”



Love’s Labour Lost



When day is done

Dishes washed

Tasks filed, tucked,

Swept, end run.


Nothin’ lasts

Not one

No kisses fraught;

None.


Just white screens

Neon flashes

Unblemished, pristine

All undone.


Love dies

Like all else here

Maggots breeding

All me, always one.



~ Judith Vaddi
