I Keenly Remember

I keenly remember


they sat at a corner table


    by a window


    with the sun and the moon
            shining in......


they were dressed in amber and ocher




speaking the occult
           
         and living in the hidden, the mysterious


Caution blew in with the wind
         
          and joined in their babble


 Time exploded in anger
           
          and left the room


                    frothing at the mouth


                               and spitting venom


all the while the spider waits.
