He Sits in the Garden

This cinquian chain was written in response to this week’s Poefusion’s Friday Five prompt. This week’s words were: priest, ring, garden, magnifying glass, and backseat. Enjoy.

—————————————–
He sits
in the garden,
considering an unseen
fork in the future path before
his feet.

He sits
in the garden,
remembering backseat
embraces and kisses, stolen
and sweet.

He sits
in the garden,
magnifying his heart
under glass to watch its fevered
debate.

He sits
in the garden,
holding a golden ring
in his slick, nervous fingers as
he waits.

He sits
in the garden,
waiting for the woman
who beckons from him love and joy,
released.

He sits
in the garden,
thinking of his parents
who were hoping that he’d become
a priest.

Stumble It!
