 Title:
						Trivia
 
 
 
 I sit here in my home
 surrounded by well-loved artefacts.
 Trivia with meaning.
 Pictures.
 A life’s story snapped at intervals
 with cheerful nonchalance.
 
 What of women in Japan?
 No home.  No trivia,
 No memories to hold, to see.
 Nothing.
 No loving arms to bolster pain.
 No whisper in a heart-sore ear.
 Just an icicle imbedded
 in a frozen heart.
 
 I sit here
 with love alive and close.
 The trivia of my tears
 washing - futile - over a guilty ocean.
