The Wedge <br /> <br />Tapered edges opposed in form <br />A mordant face to drive it home <br />The wedges edge a choice, unforgiving <br />In practiced hands the gain a given <br />With every issue the effect profound <br />In failing sought to further comfort <br />That core once solid, strong and proud <br />Now, bares the wounds that time allowed <br />Those fissures raw, exposed relations <br />Only the passing of seasons and occasions <br />Remind the wedges deep division <br />Only the eye to recognize the reason <br />On reflection the memory is all that pursues <br />Distance the comfort between us two <br />With splintered pieces the tone digress <br />The wedge falls silent in cold regress <br />Whose face to shine a job, become <br />Whose shame to bear the damage done?<br /><br />Pablo Cruise<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-wedge-revised/
