By the side


It began as a spat,
sparked into an argument,
ignited--
we raged against each other,
hurling lightning bolts,
crackling through opaque india-ink,
jagged shards piercing, moon and stars
languishing before our pyrotechnics,
our rumbling thunder
drowning night-songs.


We broke each other
and walked away,
discarded
by the side of the road,
as cars swerve and flatten.
