Poem Three for Jigsaw Project

community property

reticent recalculation
splintered undertow
cumulative accoutrements
captivated greedy souls
tannic words, acidic glares,
soft sweaty lawyers hands
the dog, the cat, the bedroom set
a hushed conundrum of demands
fateful longings, shattered dreams,
no account for banished trust
their culminated life together
court dissected upper crust
