"Resolving Issues"

Should a problem arise between you and another one,

without putting Johnny on the spot
my absence NOT attending fellowship,
today December 20th, 2020
albeit remotely, cuz...

How offensive that must’ve felt!
I’m seated after having said this in bewailment like an ox
Not thinking of the grandeur but of her buttocks
Gloriously, as an ambler, I lift the embargo on this thought
Not letting myself...

Colors fallen upon the dancefloor
They scatter beyond the open door
Cold, lifeless bodies collide to the floor
Hold me close this winter all the more
Breathe into me relief...put me at ease
Grief buried me alive again...so please…

  Improvisation requires, impromptu readdress 
 Thinking on one’s feet, perhaps making a stand 
   All at sea, seemingly tripping across dry land

A dyed gown around my chest
A hard...
