Untitled

You are startled by conversation
a leaping deer nimble
over pit-traps
and pauses

The ink has not dried
on the past
we smudge the edges of yesterday
with a careless hand
blurring the truth
to more a more acceptable
script of quasi bullshit


Husks of days
swirling beneath your bare feet
the softcrunch
as each is flattened to make
a pathway

Tread lightly love
lest you crush the morning
I had promised

I am more careful these days
less inclined to gleam unrestrained
I have retrained my aura
to shimmer subdued
