gone not noticed

what can we be sure of anyway
paws don't know how tender it might be
the place they jump onto

it's a matter of moments
it's a dirty business not noticed
one of those moments
the heart shifts, spins ,transports
it's a dirty business that
kicks time in the guts
gives time nausea

tongues don't know how sweetly and easily
they can nail, screw, pound, crush
it's a dirty business not noticed

collect, then, the said sailing
in the space,
pack them, stamp them unsaid
for the next receiver
and

hand me some bandages

what can we be sure of anyway

It makes me so happy that you are posting more often. This is another beautifully made poem. Is it about accidental damage in relationships, the difficulty of controlling all the outcomes. That's what it made me think anyway.

Thanks Po!
There is no relationship but yeah accidental damage is a good term to explain it, and much better than intended damage which I dont think I ever experienced, at least I hope so:)
