on long, gray afternoons-
when to hide away
from misplaced society
& relive football feelings
& dream of love & diner
dinners with Rita Hayworth,..
hot plates & warm
coffee, & a dawn to wonder
where we went wrong.
when together started the
status quo. it's then to
search for words to cleanse
desires. fancy, lavish
& extreme in delivery.
to place an angry fist over my
heart, if only for a moment
to feel a cruel man's motive.
& should you choose solitude,
i'll awaken you still with
unsparing love, each morning
with the mist & dogs, lest
your memory fade from
reminders. is to give in to
what so many crave a
mountain to tall for you
to climb? can one reach
the summit all alone?
to deny what arrives with
a natural announcement
is your aberration.
