Dearest Destiny,
20/20 isn't always hindsight
it's futures, enveloped,
stamped and delivered
upon foreign shores
no hesitations
even tho hesitations want a show
searing in the desire
a trusting tango touching fire
blackened
swans pendulate
finding that perfect pearl
spring is fall
summers shimmer, a moonlit ball
long kisses under street lamp skies
the blues fade to green then red
there's writing on the wall
signs, signs, signs
leading
worth repeating
back then forth
then back again
rising with the sun, her moon
stirring in the sugar
as sleep, the key, is still

"There are no mistakes in tango,not like life. If you get all tangled up you just tango on."
Swings pendulate
swells and spills
mending then breaking
still, the salt stings
Your moon
clings to my window
and stares
