In order to
spare myself,
I refrain from
morbid curiosity.
I turn away
from
fascinations
which torment
me with their
nightly callings.
Perched precariously
on the most
slender of branches,
my eyes turn
heavenward
in case
I should
suddenly
need to
take
evasive
flight,
thus
neatly avoiding
the harsh reality
that yours
was
a
predatory
shadow
cast
over
my
life.
And you're back with more brilliant poetry - stunning. Such a lot said with so few words.
