Nostalgia

An Ekphrastic Sonnet

There are dimensions that I do not miss:

The rolling eyes of grudging compromise

The petty insults to a source of bliss

The shredding of the polite, sweet disguise

The bored complaints about the lack of plans

The misery spawned by comparison

The bickering about the pots and pans

But now and then, we glimpsed a horizon

Roseate and blessed by laughing pleasure

A circuit formed by bad bodies conjoined

Communion too pure for thought to measure

Synthesis by rude alarm clocks purloined

A dream, a memory, a hot fiction

A luscious and ludic kind of friction

Ekphrastic
