in the camouflaging
shades of...

When you made love to me, 
On my rumpled white sheets
When you kissed...

and his brothers half-crazed behaving

I was a zealous, blue patrol officer, preserving the safer public environments,
As black, diamond nights come in sequence, with the glittery enlightenments.

I helped to direct ephemeral traffic, serving justice and enforcing eternal law,

one time a mule deer strolled out
and fed in the meadow nearby.

were...
