Coincidentia Oppositorum (Unity of Opposites)

Lent-ears can leave all hope.
The bird-eyes are to testify
against them.
A terrestrial remainder
of thought and sorrow 
will be here
to channel
the inspired, deep breathing, 
taken
then removed, 
like a bleeding-out story
from a survival theory
or a Dantean purgatory.
Your memory still lingers
over me
like a spiritual contrast,
an ironic alliance with a faithless past,
a denied complicity,
whose grace
saves the date
for an unforeseen future.
We had better unveil
the tragedy hide-outs in both,
those defying,
-without the expected results -
its physical charm,
its idyllic
yet hopeless embrace
or an attempted crossing
of the heart.
