Miscarriages

Miscarriages big and small
indicted, sequestered, and exiled
into an atrocious sepulcher
gently embracing simple stupidities
languorous reflections missing wisdom
decisions for a ridiculous condition
so easily made otherwise, but unchosen

Evasive excuses and explanations
exquisitely unelucidating
stem no tide, nor try
all roads detachedly trail off
into drunken murmurs and hiding places
hesitations, projections, and misinterpretations
resting perfectly relinquished
