Contingencies

Contingencies

Fine lines of seclusion

had guarded me

though not protected.

---

For in the world beyond

there were tinglings

of residual effects

in time left undone.

---

Wrapped around me now

are fragmented

Silhouettes lingering

with Contingencies.

Along the bylines

of my most frequented emotion.

---

Masking thier appearance

they masquerde

in a dance that was held

in my honor.

---

But

I would not dance

Until

--

Good intentions escape

and for a while

I allow it all to happen;

The intrusion of past emotions

Come alive again

And if only for a while

 the dance goes on.
