flash warning signs
throughout my body,
tensing to your touch
no long familiar;
probing indifference
betrays my desire as
I respond - your
unwilling partner,
provoking silence then
noise between us;

mounting confusion
reaches a climax that
seems pre-mature if
it were not for all our
previous recollections;
mermaids of pleasure
jump in and out of
brackish ponds hoping
our love will rekindle
and they will once again
be asked to navigate;
OpEds never written
imagine our distress,
rewriting scenes,
while wishing we had
never tried to rewrite.
