in the frozen field of winter you come
in supplication,
seeking succor,
forgiveness,
another chance for me to be
your second choice.
I lift my head and catch the scent
of spring in someone's perfume.
I wear defiant patchouli,
an aromaic armor against
the inclination to nod and beckon,
when I should duck and run
shuck and jive
cast my bread upon the waters
and self-immolate before
you burn me up again.
