Dilatory Deeds
Hie thee, to warm utterances
that soothe reddened hearts.
Hie thee to where it knows no crackles from a cold spirit,
not even from seething sips of a blackened stout.
Hie thee, where no emerald flocks,
to blind thee into tempted wastes.
Hie thee into that which He bellows,
for trails into His Heavens or below.
Hie thee before they drub thee, a sub.
Before pain delivers regrets that deny forgiveness.
Hie thee, away from garbles of chatters,
from the morass of wrong deliverance.
Hie thee for thou art too late.
