next time

someone pauses lost
in thought and you happen
to be target

you may think "do or die"
but precisely what to do

in extremis

all crises pass even
Stalin retreated,

unbelieving.

you scour
and sulk yet
the blues arrive

in startling tones of blushing burn

and you are jilted
in your vial of unlikely return.
