Omens

The accidents kept on occurring:
Glasses shattered, spares shredded, the clocks
Falling like mere dying metaphors
To flat reality of tiled floors.
And all through that lingering autumn
We watched each other’s faces for signs,
Some clues of carelessness, thoughtlessness.
But all we could read in those shadows
Was harried joy, dismay, random love.
