She came unannounced to visit me, I answered the door and closed the drapes Since dusk had long passed as had twilight, She sat on the couch reading my poetry I returned to finish making my crepes For asparagus wraps tomorrow night. I took her a cup of raspberry tea And asked her what she been doing of late Turning on the end table light. She tried to express her exasperation, How her latest late boyfriend had gone Giving so little and want so much more Play rough shod over her emotions And being relieved that it was done, Although now life had become a bore, Lonely in her new emancipation, Complaining till the stroke of one And then finally departed out my door. Tired I just wanted to go to bed But cleaned the kitchen instead, Fed the cat and drank some wine To erase the visitation from my mind. Gloom |

I know the confusion of such visits, whether they be in voice, in mind or in body.  I have a feeling she will be back in one form or another."cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" |

Thank you, Nakdthoughts Dishes are not my thing either, But a little furry thing that is often seen streaking through the shadows of my domicile has this tendency to lick the plate so hard that he shoves them off the counter and onto the floor, usually about two in the morning. So if I wish to sleep and not wake to the shattered dishes things must be taken care of before retiring. Thank you, Susan Caldwell, I’m sure she will, call her a bad penny. Thank you, ThisDiamond, Pleased you enjoyed. Gloom |
