Algae Bloom

The dance commences, I retreat a step Shattered from archaic engulfing patterns You cha cha your storm forward in Swirls of ancient abandonment and as I skip back another, gasping for sufficient safety from suffocation, You unfurl your blitz clawing the lioness’ leash You decipher my terror and it emboldens your raging compulsion Which suspends our inner children in connected cocoons and yet somehow We cant reach each other as we intermingle desperately It makes us stoic, empty and musically atrophied but At a closer distance, oxygen less and congruently alone And it sits frog like, stale and poisonous between us and still The spire flattens and petrifies our reflections powered by a Stalemate which devours our fragile humanity with a timid jocularity
