Tail or arrow???

THE DEVIL´S TAIL

(February 10, 2018)

All the money in the World

Can´t cure an aching heart.

That dearth ole´ tail targets in

Somehow knowing were to hit.

It´ll take something more

Than can be found on a resolution´s list.

Grabs and tears at the innards;

Has no respect for intimacy.

Eats away at personal pride;

Knows not calm peace or privacy.

We pluck it up by the flimsy tail.

We hear it wail and wail.

It always manages to break away,

Once again to batter the shattered, broken heart.
