the grudges

the grudge is long
and hard. old.
two years, three, they forget
why they're even
mad at each other.
but it's important to not
talk,
to not take a call,
to visit,
or make eye contact
when in the same room.
it's a strange sickness,
this grudge thing.
not a bone of forgiveness
or understanding
found
in their closed minds.
they drink the poison
every day to keep the grudge
fresh
and current.
