intermittent fuse
arc shaped flash, liberation!
moment satori

***

missing inaction

overflow
laughter and television
and the drawl of days too long

i prune abrupt
with bladed lids
and short words and shrift

i think
something waits for me
adrift
in drink
within some hidden sea

i'll weigh anchor with the broken chain
anchor with a broken chain
until a wake will
bring me back again

flotsam on familiar shore
broken, sick and sore

not wanting
wanting
more.
