Beating the Odds

PAD Challenge day 27: For today’s prompt, write a falling apart poem. 

(My challenge this month is keeping up with its poetic challenges:) 

Let’s fall apart together

The weather is November gray

And none of us can tether

The hand that will have its way

Time is a master of moments

Author of fugitive art

Let’s beat its odd estrangements

And fall apart, heart to heart

We have two choices, darling

Musing on lost yesterdays

Or dancing with arms open

To the music that still plays
