I Asked Solemnity to Tea

I asked Solemnity to tea.

He seemed to want to be with me.

We took a walk when we were done

with Lapsang Souchong, and a bun,

and slowly all the streets grew dark.

It was then he made his mark

upon my soul, a lover’s bite –

which took away my waking sight

and dumped me in the heavy dim

which constituted most of him.

He brought me to his central spot.

He was lonely, I was not.

With force, I pushed away from this:

and fled his yearning, and his kiss.
