Vaccine


…And to the absconder
With brittle emotion
Allowed to soften
This arid clay
         Drapery
         Fabric façade of mystery
         Decamped without a track

Met a girl
Named vaccine
I thought she’d cure my every thing
Unfortunately allergens would stake their claim
Inflictions too deep to heal
Bequeath alone in sovereign
Steam rising
Neck arched
Noticing lack of evaporate
One day it shall meet the face

Walked the hollow
To fulfill
A destiny fated incomplete

  1. "Met a girl named Vaccine. I thought she'd cure my everything" - wickedly clever. Love that line!
