you are the chantreuse who
revels in the darkness;
your shadow grazes my skin -
it is liquid and fleeting,
slides across numbed form
leaving everything
and nothing
Untouched.

all this jazz;
free and unfettered,
leaves behind a distaste for decadence
something more
than this unexpressed ambivalence.
revealed Jeffrey Fritz when the clock struck 9:07:00 PM
