"This melancholy London - I sometimes imagine that the souls of the lost are compelled to walk through its streets perpetually. One feels them passing like a whiff of air. - W. B. Yeats

Sonnet Electronica

She's hunched over a screen
tracing a thousand dot trajectory.
A headphoned brunette music queen
in finger flying waving fury.

You're like a little mouse.
Not meek, but small. Quiet. Beige.
But not beige like a suburban house.
Tan and hinted russet. Heart encaged.

A frame that purses lips
and is drunk off one glass red,
kind and timid woven strips
of colored passion- and dread.

No, I haven't seen any watermelons here.
But it's okay that you can't steer.
