In the Heat of the Delete

I thought I knew you in the heat 

 of the night and poetry,

 you tried to get it right in 

trite and the familial.

Failed dive,

but you won,

a disaster of what I do well,

happy face in tight smile,

beat me down in submission

and I say, thank you sir,

your grace ... I submit.


Tucked away in stones 

and mansions. I'm done...

had some fun, raised a tribe...

and now in disaster of what

I thought I could do so well,

glass was broken, I bled...


Unconvinced that it was 

my fault; I succumbed to

your verbiage...

I got patina in the coppering,

blue in a hatred pure,

a delete in the present

is all you needed to do.
