unquiet desperation

Desperation is birthed
with unholy labor pains
from too many pregnant moments
after binges of coarser
appetites have devoured
the finer points we used to be
all about
Where are the details now?
the small things that always
held us fast when the
world was crumbling around us
have given up the ghost
like Christmases past
myths no longer coddled
by hearts that have suspended
their beliefs
