bow drawn

It occurred to me, behind chewed lips,

in the star dusted hours spent

not hunting but always readied.

Driving bass lines not enough to soothe

the ache of want and disastrous need.

Piano keyed drops pool like rain

and arrive on cue.

Finding I have been dry and starving

only for the lack of trying.

Sudden rise in humidity

is startling yet found intriguing.

Southern, and should be prepared

but like the dip in voice,

the draw is addictive.

Catching the weary, wide-eyed wonder

Off guard and pants down.

OH MY…

What delicious deviations of course

occur to me, behind chewed lips.
