Offered
Hapless plans for
glad-handed panhandler.
Sifting through frayed remains —
reminders of unravelled travels.
This sojourn — a journey of
burned yearning, turning worse,
spurned, until I adjourn
to her antechamber’s lecturn,
spilling forth all that is worth
to offer what I’ve pondered,
in thoughts begotten and lost
to her endgame, star-crossed.
