Revenant

to drain away and refill,
I settle deeper between my ears
cognizant of the cadence

I think love be quite fastidious
With a priggish clear intent
To fester hurly burly
On whom it should torment.
One thing is absolute...

Both arguing profusely over who got what.
An equal distance dictated the dual,
Each desiring the mouse, for much needed fuel.

and festive lures trundle in,
weave ways through orange barrels,
past Red Lobster’s neon’s
a surf and turf backwash of traffic.
