The Art of Letting Go

so much has changed,
since the dam broke.

the villages built
to extract the rage
have been razed.
their inhabitants,
mostly dead,
cling to vestigial memories.

[ Not all of them worked in the mines. ]

The baker has taken over,
unable to imagine a new place,
screaming into my ear,
all my heresies against love
in an effort to produce the rage
the mines have lived off of for so long;
his voice is easier to ignore,
but still distracting.

letting go
of the integration -
dis-integration...
without the rage,
what will keep the love safe?
