See the twisting silence
weaving between them;
pursed lips, downcast eyes,
See their knot tighten
further together, closer apart.
See the denial. See the unraveling.

So visual!! Excellent!
Thank you, Denise.
Sad to say Shawn, I could see split couples on parent/Teacher night. Oh how the children suffer the separate looks on whose fault it is little Johnny is struggling in school:(
Generally, in my experience, it’s Little Johnny’s fault for not doing his work in class…
Yep, but you know, gotta blame someone!! Lol
Yeah. The teacher is usually the preferred target, however.
