I just stumbled upon some scribbled random lines & words I'd hastily drafted in March 2017 and elsewhere a few scribbled random lines from April 2017. This afternoon I played around with the two separate entities before realising that they really belonged together, hence the following:
.
Closing
The Deal
once having flown
too close to a werewolf moon
he struggled to provide
a blueprint for his own
corrupted furrow –
his joy
was rarely ever real –
but cynicism
worn as self-defence
though jocular
was more
like the true deal-
he dreamt of heroes
but all too soon became
a doleful clown
