A Day In a Lost Town

Erstwhile 
A bucolic 
Was an ephemeral
Dalliance with a redolent 
Resembling the petrichor in the night
The propinquity of the black 
Dressed harbinger was an 
Epiphany 
Of loss

Demesne
Stillness was felt
Until efflorescence 
Of baser passions steam in rage
With the tragic loss of three tormented souls
An outlaw was passing when saw
That serendipity 
Has to be found
Inward
