"Raspberry Lemonade," A Poetry Post

Sometimes when you take
two bitter bodies and
mix them despite the
crushings and bruisings of their
circumstances,
you can add in cooling water and
good sugar and
get something refreshing.

And sometimes,
you get a divorce.

Depends on the bodies you start with,
and their levels of bitterness,
and the quality of the sugar,
and where the water comes from.

-T. D. James-Moss
