I wrote this following a particularly harrowing meeting with my husband (now ex).
Atoms split then collide,

Chaos ensues.

Four lives torn asunder

Nuclear fallout infecting us all

A pebble drops; the ripples spread and break on my shore.

Red-eyed and contrite you linger at my door,

Soothing me with memories.

Then slowly stab and turn the knife,

reopening old wounds.
