Paper Love

     We newspaper talked      but more often,      screamed,      ripping anger,      each breathing      the fire of blame      for  his death.      But edging closer      to black consuming loneliness      our desperate eyes      finally met.      Taping our singed pieces,      the stickiness was lost.      The glued-on corners      wouldn't hold.      But through stacks upon stacks      of piled time      our paper love      was stitched together      and although there are still      a few holes,      we wouldn't have it      any other way.
