Short Black

Short black,
Days are numbered.
White chalk;
Powered lines around us.Your challenge is strong;
I will be the better hand.
I have something you will never understand.

Short black,
Skirt so short,
Your sinew legs raced me,
I was caught into your adrenalin.

We’re both fools;
We never saw it coming.
Now – I see it…

…Too late.

Short black days – hours – seconds,
You, daylight, sounds and commotion;
Nothing now bothers me.
