The End of Irony


Make discourse of this flowering madness.
Something really bad happened.
Make this course of this flower in madness.

The man who absconded will not be discussed. 
He is trying to have a baby,
but love has been scraped out of his life.

Something really bad happened.
Look at the man whose wife has gone 
with that other man.

It will not be disgust.
Compassion blossoms a prodigious blanket
to warm the smothered will.

He is trying to have a baby,
but peering hard into clouded mirroring sky shows
history eyeing to wave bye-bye.
