Winter

dramatic table meetings

and no more free rides?

ha! how i love these shows.

everything is precise

regimented, orderly.

everything has to be “just so”

for now at least.

let me see you

wiggle your butt

and saunter over

and eye me

and look me up and down

really throw your head back

from side to side

i’ll cuddle with you

if you cuddle with me

staring at nothing

until the world is a blurry place

get scared at night 

when it’s not black but grey

the tv glows and throws shadows

even when it’s off

on a figure standing over me

a macabre scene

i figure as my demise

but then i wake up just before dawn

and it all starts all over again.
