U Plural

"I don't know, 

  what you live for—"

                              she said;

and my jaw

plummeted 

to the floor;

w/ my heart

in tow like an

anchor—

           tossed

                 and torn

from its beating throne;

so true it was that, that—

                          she would 

                          never know;

that accusing 

finger pushing

selfishly out

upon the soul

down the plank;

further and further

down the shore—

standing our

ground in

abstraction

as it were

for the things

once believed

to be sure.
