Flaws

Each quirk, each tic, each issue

deserves its proper kiss as

flaw by flaw

we build an

edifice of love.

Complaint

Days like these you pray for a storm to

wash the air clean, to flush the

catarrh from our brains, to

bathe us of our sweat and

bad odours, to sweep our

jetsam out into the

urgent complaint of the ocean.
