The Siren

Amid the eerie blue-white glow she stands erect, poised and ready to loose her awesome power. Above the constant ebb and flow; above our motley desperation, gathers she strength by the hour. Our pallet, longing for the taste; anticipation dances in our veins. A chocolate covered strawberry. Come near! We hear in our haste. Tingling frail nerves and follicles overcome the nonsensical worry. We acquiesce in the mode common. Their soothing voiced entrapment -- quiet like the web catches the fly. And later, of this gift to mammon: Well, private thoughts should stay with heartache of the how and why. Charles Henderson June 16, 2013
