Desaturation Days

I’ve taken to steps well-trodden
in hopes of taming
a pilgrim heart besotted
with the nebula of youth’s fecundity—
that nubile hearth of indiscretion & indecency.

If only these weekly descents
were sufficient to satiate…
temper time and illuminate
the path meandering.

Alas, the millstone erodes perennially;
a gradient grinding solemnly,
while the proletarian ablutions render clean
the refuse of corporate resignation.

Yet, restless is the soul tethered by duty:
a drone somnambulistically seething
to the desaturated bleating
of desire slowly expiring.
