Our twins are real, even when they are never revealed.

Odd is simply having no one to be compared to.

Bereft, you just walked off, leaving me here, totally lost.

‘We’ll be together forever’ was a promise made in error.

You didn’t drop me. I took my chance and ran.

Unforeseen, not misplaced, on a different path, new pastures, green.

Foolhardy, the good souls who think they can re-unite us.

When twins are parted, wholeness is slashed, not merely halved.

Nick Cave’s lost gloves are no more important than mine.

I was wrong, we never did fit like a glove.
