You are not happy to see me
your face pale
countenance ghostly
is looming
I have been here before
welcomed
at least lately tolerated
With your body burnt
to cinder
our playground exists
only in my dreams
In casual reverie I steal
those cinders and
put them on my mantle
covetous of your charred
hair and your ashen
sibilant lips
I'm a fool to want you
This is a daily exploration of creative energy. We post every other day "in response" to each other.
