coming undone

we are under 

the threat of rain,

the threat of

floods,

in the news there's the

threat of war,

the threat of change.

the threat of ending love.

the threats

are everywhere,

disease, inflation,

crime.

the man across the street

with a gun,

the woman

in the window

with a knife.

the dog off its leash,

everything could

at some point

come undone.
