cricket vinaigretteA Poem by Ross Davison
vinaigrette morning
in predawn dew,
cricket swallows the chunk of my leftover words,
last night phlegm exhaustion,
crowding each strand of thought,
s n i p p i n g them off before resolution.
inhale deep the sliver fresh,
the biting reality screw,
graying blonde trusses pulled behind her finger slides
across tight neck tender,
worries of our reparation abound,
killingly rejected, swimmingly discarded,
with a glance
cricket chirps a song sigh sorrow at me.
slapping my innocent failure with her
thorn branch hurt heart.
every ray that reaches her cheek rising
in eye iris close,
awaking the head ache aggravation,
she pulls covers over and close
the noise
of my
breathing
off.
suffocating my plastic bag head, wrapped
in
stifle
choke,
as
i
try
to
apologize.
