Chose not to heed the warning
Of the storm incoming.
It’s been awhile since you wet your feet
and ignored the roaring.
Retreat six feet
under common ground.
Aiming for a head on crash
will surely wreck the past.
Hunting for a better route
to circumnavigate the proof
Lean in and feel the clasp
of the oncoming collapse .
Avoiding the head on crash
by kissing sideways.
Funny how the forbidden
can seem so alluring
How easily the roof caves in
once you notice the pouring.
Retreat six feet
under common ground.
Easy to pretend they didn’t warn you.
How convenient that the warnings never reached you.
They all found it odd you didn’t listen.
Well, the real truth is you didn’t want to.
