Meeleirrek – 9

 

They met at three in the morning

Past the place where the ravens

Whistle warnings about this,

That and everything under

And beyond the sun,

Though the run

In her stockings

Was more than noticeable

He didn’t seem to care,

It was obvious the pair

Had been together through

Eons of time perhaps longer,

Oblivious to the howling hounds

And the neon flashing 2012,

Closer than close, their heads together

As if discussing a rhyme, a feeling,

Maybe the design she was painting,

Then, like an apparition, they were gone,

Leaving the hounds sniffing,

The ravens squawking,

The neon flashing.
