TORMENT

In the middle of

The wilderness

Between the slivers

Of moonlight

Filtering through the

Camouflage of trees

Almost naked

They stood

Baring their souls

In the vortex

Of the simulated

Howling of the wind

Tethered to unseen

Anchors by invisible

Filaments of other lives

Almost touching

They stood

Palpably close

Two

Broken

Hearts
