The Refusal

The only consolation

to this game is

the aftermath and

 - burns of all the

friction, and dueling.

 

The only consolation

to the unanswered

is the mind’s portrait

of what hurts: at times

gray, at times, colorful.

But either way, it

numbs and makes

the prize weaker.

 

The only consolation

to this frustration are

the swims and dives

which makes the

mind weak, and the

strings longer.

 

The only consolation

To the deception

Is the simple

Declination to say

The simple things

Which makes the

Situation rational.
