Every Tuesday and Friday
thereabouts
the ritual is renewed
one of the few vices allowed
in these latter days
hemmed in by finance
physical limitations
related logistics

The Crab Cakes are burned
inhaled in celebration
and for a few days
we are returned
to that magic world
where there are no boundaries
to imagination / libido

Amid the warm afterglow
the periods in-between
a chance to heal
until that next ritual
for as Leonard Cohen once sang
in Tower Of Song
now
I ache in the places where I used to play
