Eclipse

beside the
dirt-stained road,
under the lights
of a million stars
and extinguished
moon,
just breathe
not to flounder,
stay still
not to fluster,
wrapped warm
in a thread
of virtue.

forboding licentousness
sharp as a dagger,
exonerates inhibitions
spawning casualties
(now and forever).

on the
dew-soaked grass,
beneath the twilight
of a million mistakes
and disavowed
lust,
just breathe
not to endanger,
stay still
not to entangle,
re-wrap a
dirt-stained
thread.
