mystery of misery December 10, 2010

The misery of your biology and history
are a catastrophe wrapped in mystery.

.

The history of your misery

hurries worries.

The catastrophe of the mystery

buries furies.

.

Your biology creates

a doxology

of apology.

.

Misery

is your

personal mystery,

and our

catastrophe.

.

.

Thinking about the impact of untreated mental illness upon relationships. 

It was intriguing to play with quite closely related rhyme, repetition, and unifying consonance.
