Acrimony

In longest night
of pitch-dark space
you disappear like an arrow.
No star brightens your face.
Rumor was cruising like a bat on streets 
to capture the gullible victim 
on winter solstice.
The snow was falling like
sorcery. 


A little anxiety to taste the
dried out grapes  
and listen to the hunger
mouthless.

You draw the lake 
on a canvas
and then jump into it
with visible nakedness.
