Evolution
How much time does it take,
Love dying like that,
Giving away its heat
In exchange for hate?
Slowly; but how to measure,
How to calibrate for each erasure?
Do feelings simply evaporate?
A compound turning into air,
Disappearing, but ever there:
Elements adhere and separate -
Something finned cleaved in birth;
Something feathered cleft in death.
So how to configure one and one
Where we used to speak of two?
A pair, a couple, both, a duo
With voices soaring out of tune,
With hearts racing not keeping pace;
Those swans in flight becoming a brace.
