ON MARRIAGE by Todd Boss and Katrina Vandenberg

Icicles

are made of melt.
The same course
that makes them
takes them away.

from 'Icicles' by Todd Boss in On Marriage

... spiteful, vicious, everything
below the belt, the kind of fight where after a while
you have no idea what you have said
much less believe, only that you are trying
to stay afloat on your little raft of words
and not let the other party wipe you out.
