Unfinished



[Mag 286]

 Pose me as you did
            the night we stole inside
the swelling moon,
            the night my hair came loose and we
            polished off a bottle,              
dark and full.

How we fooled that dim morning
leaving damp traces
            for all the world to see
                        and not a soul to know.

Inspired by Tess Kinkaid's Magpie Tales, a blog dedicated to the enjoyment of poets and writers, for the purpose of honing their craft, sharing it with like-minded bloggers, and keeping their muses alive and well.
