I dug you up
and held you out, restraint I showed him not.
Although my
head had told you “how soon you forgot.
Mustn’t I
remind you how things turned out before?”
As headlights
blinded vision, straight path I saw no more.
Appeared to me
a tan veneer, wide green-eyed buck,
who shook me
upside-down as quick as lightning struck.
Tumbled onto shorelines
and into sandy sheets,
unfamiliar
fawning between our garish cheeks.
Loquacious lullabies
soon quietly deceased,
as hesitating
allies began to retreat.
Quick-witted fingers
turn to place the blame,
but from each
other’s lips no resolution came.
So buried back
inside I’ll place my lock and key,
for the next suitor amiable
must worthy be.
