Why do things
fall between the cracks?
I did not mean to let you fall
behind the fridge and forget your great intentions
My overworn magnet failed briefly
and I mistook your ability to hold on and take the unseen attacks
from each window's gasp, sigh, or scream

I am the most faulted device in this plan though
with my fabled heart and aimless appliance
I have been in that same dark cavern
once thought to be a valued accord
lost by way of colliding climates
and unsupervised ploys
I still value the salvation you held up for me
Your nurishing plan

Forgive me this
I hope
