The warm blanket

you stripped away

As you flew away to sunny days

On your island of dreams

hoping to awaken dormant things

you left this place frigid as the north

frosted as the south

as you put the island juice to your mouth.

Unusual weather

Unexpected in this climate

of forbidden pleasure.



something is off season

something is out of place.

I had to put my old thick coat on

To face,

but not embrace

this cold.

You left me chilly

Desire could not hold

The inevitable back

Like the arctic snow

It invaded

Uninvited

In broke in

It did sing
it did sting
it did sing
it did sting

The blues

So I had to change

my shoes

Before frost did bite

Before I lost site

Of what is right.



So come on back

Bring that warm blanket with you

Maybe even some island juice

For I can now handle

the cold truth.
