Her Dark Passenger Rides Long into Midnight

..

Shall we dance?
He whispers from my shoulder, a stance
he has grown accustomed to, as I have
not yet figured out how to bid him go.

No,
I breathe low,
but he doesn’t hear, too busy crooning
in my ear of the sin
-chronization of clock and crow.

Shhhh. Just sway,
he pleads I stay, perhaps settle in
for just one more song.

Mmmm. Ok,
I can’t help but say, as each
dark syllable hums along.

mindlovemisery bids we have a chat with our passenger (dark or otherwise.)

    I do love a good (B)ambi(Dexter)us poem.

    “in my ear of the sin
    -chronization of clock and crow.” … This, and the last two stanzas, rock my world.

    This is superb–very evocative.

  4. Woah, I hope she escapes this dance, but I suppose she’s trapped! I sense danger ahead!
