Bridge May Be Icy

Froth of Guinness spruces his 'stache
While Mist of Arbor hovers in her throat
He remembers her days of exoticism
As she longs for his former brilliance


He slams the brakes at the sign
And beats the horn with increasing stupor
Accelerating with a first kiss' thrill
Because the bridge has only one narrow lane


Both drunk with the wrong reason
And without a designated driver
They see a pointy flash of yellow
Approaching like a sobriety test


A quarter mile was the deepest 
The former lovers ever fell

    I look forward to reading whatever writing may be forthcoming.
