Passion Eddy  

Book two of impromptu trilogy.

  Time, Dressed as a Woman


Time wandered by, as if searching for a thing
recently prohibited from greyhounds and seraphim

in obeyance:  time and time-last, dressed as a woman
and as a seeker of refuge.  I detected no change

nor felt remorse nearing as a faint music grew
in appeal.  It did seem unkind that the mindful

would ponder what no wise thing will chastise, even
into the burning light of dusk; circling beneath

the streetlamp a popular song played on a radio.
All of the men were young and the women were pretty

with their Y chromosomes and their X chromosomes
and the naked truth sitting between them, staring
    at the bonfire.
