Enough Enough Not Enough Poem by nathan martin

Enough enough not enough
reason in the conversation
the angry tones cluttering
up in his neck
he clears his throat
to get to the point.
put pen to paper to stain white
sheets, maybe she will forgive him.

Enough enough not enough
clothes over skin when she turned
cold. her rock garden arguments
placed along the ridge of her
spine so to not forget.
so few the botanical notes
in her morning tea.

Enough enough not enough
where short glances fail they
cannot see but stumble over
their words they fall and break
like a shell inwardly with the
heavy yoke placed upon
stove top, table top
they will have to decide
where to put the the plates.
