chokecherry smudge
the club mists
sticky trysts

black soled grey leather pumps
bracelets that glitter
like the snow
loud patrons
and cabbies
tracking black
ruts in the down
drifting
from Forever winter

Music and meter glow
Drive on driver
beneath the hallowed
show
dark eyes
dark nite
the fuel
may help us
sleep tonight
beneath the
burden of eternity
toiling in the turmoil
sleep rumpled
slumped

no nightmares
please
no vivid
escape
A ghost of a television
a bathroom
of hot steam
a window to let
out bad air
and keep winter
in ourhair..
