three out of four
by Vikki Owenssuch any ugly pattern,
such a tragic mess of heartbreak
and poor decision making,
three out of four of us
marked with the blood of our own children.
failed relationships
and so much sadness,
a black cloud hangs over us,
we eek out smiles from time to time,
but mostly cling to each other
for warmth in the driving rain.
