Sometimes
for unknown reasons
it did seem life had gone to sleep
in hiatus-- it couldn't have been
my fault--I didn't argue nor coax
it got too familiar with me--perhaps?
but I couldn't say for sure
and at best could only speculate--

I must be the provocateur
to wake it up lest it were
to slip away in indolence
and indifference too long
we would then not be
on speaking terms again
and both would be left wanting-

I will not use a whip
only gentle persuasion
waiting for its resurrection.
