Nothing Changes

Hours and days and weeks

Bring separation’s silence,

Stones that may stay there.

Single

Suddenly all changed

After months separated —

Promises broken.

Humboldt Street apartment, Reno, Nevada – Tuesday, 28 August 2012

Her lonely heart sees

Flowers just outside the door.

Remembering him.

Carol Cizauskas and Don Prather – CalNeva, Lake Tahoe – Sunday, 26 August 2012

Constantly apart

Savoring only moments

Together in love.

Like shadow puppet

Dragons, her life jerks

Disconnectedly.
