Altercation

Altercation

A Poem by Ron Hogan
"

A villanelle in iambic pentameter.

"
A cigarette in hand, my heart sinks low.
An altercation now has taken flight:
Now, round and round in circles, off we go.

Of heart's desire, little do I know.
No more do I, in sorrow, wish to fight.
A cigarette in hand, my heart sinks low.

As things get hot, we watch our voices grow.
With alcohol, I drown myself tonight--
Now round and round in circles, off we go.

I hold my heart, my feelings never show.
It's now become a cold and lonely night;
A cigarette in hand, my heart sinks low.

We plead each other--tell each other, "No."
We wonder when we will resolve this fight.
Now, round and round in circles, off we go.

So, have we quelled our hearts? I do not know.
An altercation ceased for one more night.

A cigarette in hand, my heart sinks low:
Now, round and round in circles, off we go.

Another of these damned biographies that people demand of me, as if knowing any of the numerous insignificant details of the stains left on-- I don't know where I was going with that. Trying to sound .. more..
