One More Bill

By Tracey

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

The mood is cool, the meaning misting     Wrapped in notes of scattered blues and muscles aching satisfaction The mood is calm, though undercurrents shifting     A heart of steadiness that subtly threatens sudden still, inaction The mood is shaken, the man returned     Yesterday’s ethics obsolete yet binding, haunting The mood is silent, shift in music spurned     A restless relaxation – something hiding, taunting The mood is fog, and fraught with pain     A man who seems to crumble yet I dare not feel for?               He will only pull me down more(?)     Late hour thoughts – no gain.Do not recall the exact circumstances that prompted this one - but 'Bill' is a person.
