Sabbat

Failed to do the homework. Scratched at
the source of the itch. Broke the skin.

Soggy occasion. Admitting what we mayn't
without whiskey. A coat or cat between us.

These are avoiding days. My nose in a book,
on strike. Wintered cells turn over and yawn.

Rounding out the bases. A little less grief this year.
This coffee cup is not taking this seriously.
