Solitaire

3 Feb

I am

alone.

None in this town

know me.

Delighted to return the favor, I

know my body would

become native

were I to die of joy.

I cling to the hour.

(A leech, a vine, a woman besotted)

Privileges such as these

transgress my existence only

infrequently.

    Joy should transgress existence frequently. I hope that happens for you!

    Anjali: Thank you kindly.

Here's a bar of chocolate. Now talk to me. :)
