Metempsychosis

Inky evening enfolding dark forms
with drizzly acquiescence
Clink of icecubes
swimming in gold
Tiny burgs in the burbs
Separate sojourns into stacatto mysteries
Islands faintly glowing amidst the weary and the turning in
the turning seasons
turning back misery
the turning off of lights
and the turning on of teenagers
Tossings and wheezing
and groping cotton garments
Clinging dreams and
bedbugs biting
A shape in the basement with a single bulb burning
A boy in the body of a man left to yearning
