Keep my wipers slow
like more blur than clarity
rains cascade, wet lips

every now and then

born down warm summers ago
promise cedes to rue

Don’t leave me Chloe
fill the eve with your wonder

Seductress flatters,
hypocrites cheat thieves, seers
divine, hate divides

Life in small beach towns
sand, salt, she gets off at twelve
blue-dolphin kisses

dark road, cool breeze, all things pass
Mom kids Dad in front

destructors, suicides, sharks
feign the Minotaur
