Providing we stand dividing the spoils
our labours will not be in vain.

Seductions

A process of elimination where
agitation takes the floor

I ache for more than the misguided movements
contented is finer than this

I have been kissed by the majesty,
backhanded by tragedy
and
lost somewhere in melancholy

finally
the comedy returns.

Provided we stand
give each other a hand

the home fires will keep
right on burning.
