looking for the larger view

please help me write this down
there is a disaster that claims all life
I see it in pony tails
and friendly get-togethers
I need to celebrate the life that was
before we sang yesterday
and sniffed a little
I need to know it as if
I didn’t live here
in the disaster
discovered as a child
the brutal love I recall
that became a habit
and sticks like glue
in the span between
God’s earrings
and forever

'the brutal love I recall
that became a habit
and sticks like glue' A apropriate epitaph for many I think Russel

Thanks Sue! You are right,sadly enough, I'm afraid human love is far too often far too frail. Thanks for the great comment.
