Evanescent

 

That tiny drop clawing skyward
Following the pebble's plink

The blush and rush and tingle
Of a stolen Summer kiss

The choking stench while driving
Passing the roadkill skunk

Shadow self appears and fades
In the cloudy moonlit Eve

That shade of eye in transition
Between life and death

Breaking the rule, a lingering glow
Of a lover's hungry touch
