The furies (Day 1218)

The furies flare, crowing and crying 
again. Perhaps, enough 
has been said about agreement.

Temperatures are rising, 
but we are cool as autumn, watching 
a storm heave itself against the rocks.

Eyes flashing in the darkness,
they circle and stalk, 
curling like sighs amongst the cedars.

But they cannot harm us, barricaded 
as we are by contentment — 
vaccinated by an absence of desire.
