Jack and Jill
paid their bills
and finished filing their taxes.
Jack felt trapped
so Jill broke the window.
Jill, you know we can't afford to fix that.
Jill said, sometimes your heart stops beating.
you need to let the light in.
Jack said, when it rains, YOU will be the one mopping.
Jack, hapless thoughts will happen.
hold onto that upper hand while you can.
Perhaps a mishap might happen, you know, Jill,
neither of us ever learned how to swim.
Jill said, you may be over the hill, but I'm over the moon.
Two years later, on Jack's birthday
Jack and Jill were on a hill
eating cake
until
while walking much too near
to the water mill
Jack fell down with a fist to his chest
his heart standing much too still
Later on at the funeral
Jill sank to her knees like someone had shot her
because she had watched Jack give up.
She said, he's on the other side.
Later that week, while at Jill's shrink, Jill cried.
Her shrink said, it is not your fault he locked his woe into a vault
and you know there is no one in the world who you owe.
Jill said, I know I know
even your own heart
can attack you.
