Wedded eyes peer elsewhere.
Sheets render her bed-cheeks,
Checkered, lettered, etched.
The freeze frees.
She trembles, her teeth clenched.
She flees.
Delves deeper between evergreen trees.
“We’re gentle then severe.”
The meek keep secrets.
Glee tells secrets.
She feels speechless.
When deep regrets descend,
Fevered tempers seethe.
They creep relentless,
There’s mere feet between them.
They screech, resemble
Here, there, everywhere.
Extend, step ere the edge,
Three, seven, ten, eleven, twelve steps.
The endless breeze melts her steel.
She weeps wet text,
Verses seep.

 

Sweet sleep sweeps the effervescent eve,
The peddler knew the end.
