No man is an island

The violence
of your silence
tears away at
the narrow causeways
that connected me to the mainland.
Drawn and quartered
all civilization sinks,
full of unfinished monuments.
And I look out at the beautiful lake
from the perch of a pyramid,
where we sat atop our thrones,
where we had planned those roads,
where you told me,
"No man is an island."
