No One Thing Is Enough

[rowens]

 
 
                   No One Thing Is Enough
 
 
No one thing is enough,
I said,
and left true love crying
in misunderstanding,
as if it was not made of many things;
 
and coming back, finding it
still there
but no longer warm,
 
I kept my shoes on for a night,
and later the next evening
went out on my own to try to find help.
 
Which only made it worse.
