A Bit of Ares

A Bit of Ares

 

We begin to number

the defining moments             

as we start the slide

into a seeming oblivion

Clawing away our innocence

Sharpening our senses

baring our internal fang

uncannily unleashing the beast

We crouch keenly

surging with passion

roaring our desires

We start to prance

with a reawakened hope

we are prowling with zest   

daring our dire yearnings
