It's Still Life

As If It’s …

                              Renewal.
That’s what energises me.

Like spring strutting unopposed.
Nothing timid about it.
All high-wattage swagger.

Put on your Ray-Bans.
Take to the road,
be a low-rider.

There’s a whiff of
accidental about life.
An unintended glance
back at the snubs
and rebuffs.

Third string’s a look
back too far.

                                      Energy,
it’s like a lip-glossed smile.
