A muse that loves misses ?

like strange

defenseless kisses

And a sorrow that swells

to drown itself

in mischief

Dormants that sabotage,

that ploy and play

loath to love again ?

send me on my way —

Pledges push fetches

out across edges

fathomed to a dance with death

Blazons out a rocket

in my pocket

troopers call it rent

A cruel riddle

that hangs down the middle

shifty with menaces

And shimmering tentatives

hungry at sea,

dangling off

of an ambiguous key.
