fading people
shapes
at golden time
of day
mistaken for
reprieve,
on knees in weeds
with teeth..
stripped by hiss
beneath.
fading people
shapes
at golden time
of day
mistaken for
reprieve,
on knees in weeds
with teeth..
stripped by hiss
beneath.
midst haggard times,
with ease..
reflections skim
along flat
air
as if flecked with
motes of
err.
bending a fifth
string-
gushing sedimental
sentiment
in company of
critics
i seldom know
what not
to say,
deeply content with
incomplete-
despite fleeting need
to patch old
wrongs-
to wander where i
don’t belong.
