Unattainable Truce

Katdream

with or without you
contentment suppressed
my heartbeat out of sync with conviction
lips tainted by sour wine

listening to Leonard Cohen renderings
sensual confessions spilled out in chords
oblique conclusions revealed
drowning in some intelligible deepness

lined in impregnable granite
impotent to break the mold
hailstones plummet relentlessly
screaming for an armistice

in this one-sided conflict
how does one put down arms
and exculpate what no longer exists?
unattainable truce exposed...
