The Book of Scorpio

 
You dressed
like any black winter's night

and escaped
before I had time to tell you

how much I hate you.
It may be true the sea laps shattered

peace with salt
stinging an undefined attitude

when you promised
you wouldn't wear black

without the pride of an artist.
The effect

was more precious than revenge.
You phoned

to say you
wanted me back and all you got

was explosive
sounds of silence

frozen
deep in scorpionic sea.
