whoa; when did I write this? 26.1.09 |

justify our jejune bond
left empty in awkward
stares and drained hands

justify the coyness, the
gaiety of our general
gaze broken

with liberty and justice
for all? retreat to your
cartel and justify your
infidelities with blood
money and complicated
loves.

escape to lands less justified
than this and gloat in your
relative justice with the
secrets you perjured--

no, there's no justice
in your justification
you're not you, not the
justice romantics desire.

justice? just this:
i've got a secret love
in the cigars and sombreros.

just this:
tricked you.

harness. |

There's a warmth in that hand.
A warmth filling every cubic inch.
Reaching and breaching the dead winter
air
is a warmth as such I've yet to know.

Whispering the solstice away,
the warm and humid air
defrosts my panes.

A commanding hand
and a strong wrist.
The seconds tick away on
the transient diadem
and all of history
and all of time
is you,
you and this warm winter night.
