The Unseen Dinner Guest

We sit around a table
The horizon fractures
Glittering wineglasses awash in light
The earth falls away beneath my feet
I am left hanging above a void of black
The dreadful sum of my fears
A yawning chasm
Your laughter and self assurance fueled by success
Across each nerve
One by one
A cold breath whispers
The ease that comes with physical beauty
Emptiness upon emptiness
Sensuality tethered to strength
An aching sorrow
A story with no end

Let’s get together next Friday.  Tonight was really fun.  So glad we could meet up.
