Explanation

( by Nick Mancuso )

if i could

(with simple words explain)

how loves fine thread had
caught me in its web

then friendships faith
would be all i need

and pains dolour not trap
me in her web

she is a woman

and her friendship
to the world is now suspect

a suspicious mind calls out from her
like
a ship,astride an empty sea

she blasts the messages that i in bottles
keep

she will not say, nor will she
stay,with what control her credit

grows

is now cashed

her love was false
as false
as ocean’s deep

and crosseyed love
with all my hopes

battered on her shore

& now must weep,
must weep,I now
must weep/
