Sometimes old friends become outdistanced
by sad experience you’ve had
impossible for them to grasp
the extent said events are replete with meanings
had which render fresh resource for absurd blaming.
Here nothing can be done to overcome dead enmity between regret and ignorance to quell
the refuse fire within, the refuse of countless refusals
Once thought shrewd but now appear as cowardice self-imbued Til soul undone seeks gutless recompense in happy trust in life refused.
