my wintery stay

extends to

mid-May.

every day, more

and more

the same,

again and

again.

no aim in

a scarlet strain.

beloved black

bounty, berry.

sweetness sucked

by

leeching, latching

on

gory glory.

coronary queen,

eternally vain.

yesterday was

more and more

the same.

as tomorrow

will be

once

again and

again and

again.
