as good as inevitable

on
you put
a finger to your bitten lip
and giggle an apology

for making nature take its course
you've many subtle strategies

that lead down winding ways, all smooth
and slick, with careful slips and steps

to follow as you lead on down

you worked it out

this way is best

DANG IT!

I posted this on the wrong blog.

Huh. I guess I'll leave it here, too. It's been a while since I put up a poem over here.

This person sounds dangerous, yet naturally inevitable or something. Like some awesome craggy pathway along a cliff you really find enticing.

I didn't see the title before I entered that comment. Sorry for stating the obvious! Doi.

Actually, I like that you kind of "screen out" the title and read the poem very intent like that.

COOL!

It is nice evidence that you conveyed your mood really well. :)

That's exactly how I took it! Although I also thought - even if you skipped past the title, it may subliminally have cast a certain color of inevitability over the proceedings.

Which would also be fine.
