mesmerized
cut down to size
don't you
dare {double-dee-dog-dare}
fall in love with
me...
how dare you
to say such
"simple words"
with expect
for belief ...
how dare you
to dismiss
the love that we once
knew, new
mesmerized
cut down to size
and believed to be the
truth...

that short burst
 of conversation
was not long enough
 to say or ask
for that matter
 anything that really
mattered...
 nor time for memory
recall...like how is
 the white crepe myrtle
and the spotted
dottied begonia
or the
star-yellowed sedum
 that crawls
your gardens floor...
 or simply
 so to speak
without eye-to-eye
 no brows raised
 how are you?

I have hummingbirds 
  and Spring is sweet
bittersweet in fact
  with green evny
and pastel blossoms
and goldfinches...
  that reminds me
of all of the awe 
  of yous'...

...I didn't receive
an Official letter
by the date, so this
must mean that you
want to see me fall
flat on my face...
...I didn't perceive
the potential fate...
...I didn't see you
coming into me
time after time
after time to erase...
the Slate clean, so to
speak outloud!!!
time and time again...
taxed beyond belief
who would be interested
anyway...when redemption
was all I needed...

...are you at home
tonight after your
 forelorned, four day
weak, work, week?
...are you enough
of a friend
to even wish
a Married CHRIStmas
too, to, two
...are you taking
off your Boots
(and the leather belt)
the way you
used to do?
at the end
of any given day?
... is it CHRIStmas
at your newlywedded
home???
