Oh Tangled Death


Oh tangled death

I have come to see

on these steamy sidewalks,

 

far past the middle of my life,

 

We were always, always dancing in your spiny arms.

 

Those tangoed nights of trance

flirting with illusion’s filmy

daughter, smoke-grime

on a tavern window.

 

We are dancing even now

in your tawny muscled arms.
