Break-ups Can be Hard

A perfect circle
Cut in two
Not so perfect
But two halves
Equally capable
Of inviting in
Ideas or
Infection.
The common cold
A perfect
Disease
For which there is
No cure,
Only endurance.
How does
Something perfect
Endure
Being cut
Apart
With the surety,
The glee
Of the chop
Of a butcher's
Knife.
