Soft Smoke Desire

It is hot in here

Quiet
still
surreal

My thoughts move
in rogue persuasion
and
I inventory the
years that have
passed

Tonight is that night
I dwell in combat

Me vs my own emotions
and
the contempt for so
much of what we
call
sanity

I know the run of
the river

The dew damp
on the bottoms
of our feet

moist between our
toes
and
laughter
drowning sorrow

accept your emotions as yours and they is what they is and then there is no more combat within.

Laughter drowning sorrow. There's the thing.
