Bad Faith

 

Bad Faith

 

The door of his life has been left open,

Just slightly, a leaving ajar to let in

The air, a little - a way in, a way out.

He might step outside, or he may not.

 

He feels the draught upon his neck,

Hopes he is right, for his own sake.

He wonders about absence, about choice;

Thinks about the silence, about the noise.

Trojan Horses

 Trojan Horses

 

He took her for a ride,

a ride across deserts and seas.

 

She took him in,

into her head, into her heart’s disease.
