Poetry Drawer: 5 by Grant Guy

the moon rises
a dog barks
a car drives over a broken tree branch

the branch cracks under the weight of the car

the moon rises
a dog barks


snap
snap

elastic broke

almost blinded him


when he looked out the window
all he saw was himself looking back

he cried a lifetime

then he laughed


words
i have no choice

they created me


eat
shower
work
supper
bed

no sex tonight
