as we sit together under the geraniums,
hanging low and at full bloom,

That was miles away
down the road
We parted there
And I came back
to find her long gone
No trace, no note, no sign
I wondered if she

Appearances looked like the last trip had failed.

Reaching my brain and interrupting dreams that are far from reality’s reach.
Slowly, surely, on soft feet.

The cunning crafts devised,
Myriad of ignorant mass their targets,

Ignorant bunch of scallywags...
