when will the subtle
silent, shadows of sureity
be noticed in your day
will your eyes always be drawn away
suduced into following flash floresent
the orange-red of fake fire
immediate over postponed desire
will you try on the bluegreen lined in lime
a cool energy alternative
worthy of afternoon considerations
oh, I understand more than you know
this would require stopping
and
you don't have time for that

I wonder if it is a good strategy to cool all those red-hot desires… maybe saying yes at least once would be healthier.

Bjorn,
It is interesting that you read it that way. It is one of the things that I adore about poetry.
Thanks for hosting. I wish I could have attended your live gathering.
