The Gift of Abandonment

The fantasy: 
of moving in a circle, 
taking a flower bath. A metaphysical 
misquote. You were losing 
your identity.

There was no abstract folly. 
I will protect all the concrete truths.

To find a lover in the woods.

Fighting my demons 
I start a circuitry of unborn vows.

The onslaughts continue. 
Night comes with all its glory 
to torment me, in absence of moon.
