kick up some dust
on a southerly trail
chasing the stars of a gemini
scorpions have sketches
inked on them
you will have to come closer
to see
I pass by an open mirror
and look outside
there is a black tree
with hooves and claws
waiting for the spring
I close my eyes
and continue
a plane passes overhead
and the windows rattle loose teeth
a beer fizzles in a green bottle
delaying my imminent
arrival

now that I stand here before you
captivated by your arsenal of intrigue
I can only say
that the thing I have done
may seem unruly
to some
but to me
it doesn’t seem like
anything to lose sleep over
and if you could just hand me
my passport and the check book
Ill be moving right along

you are struck
by her expression of gratitude
how it always seems
in hindsight
to have been a nice farewell party
the two of you had

yes I know
this was years ago
but I wish it seemed
like it were just yesterday

As always, I'm captivated with the journey.

Yet, the final stanza, I find an edge of irony, as if...it WAS just yesterday...

I like the edges dangling like that.

But then? I WOULD, huh?

Well, this scorpio has your word sketches stored in a safe spot, should you ever want them back.
I enjoyed this write, will save it with the others.
Have fun, Steven, and hope you keep that original wordprocesser handy
