decisions

a vial of poison-
reminiscences of you
held up to my lips
–
desert skies-
reflections of death
in the watering hole

deep under water
looking back at the surface
as I sink farther
–
valentines day-
ice cracks
beneath my feet

entwined in the sheets
last night you were in my bed
complicating things
–
a cold rain-
leaving alone
at closing time

deeply search your soul
and when the darkness calls you
choose not to answer
–
evil
waits for an
eager listener
