SOLEMN DANCER



Under the gray clouds

Chirp of robins searching

The misty grasses for a worm

Tires shushing down the highway

I hear the beating of my heart

Laundry spins tornado like after the rinse cycle

Damn I forgot the softener…again

The phone still beeps red

Message* * Message** Message

The dishes sit wearily collecting dust

Among the littered remains of

Last nights too late poor excuse for a supper

A train scolds the town as it rushes by

The sun still does not want to shine

Perched in the heat of my chest

A solemn dancer taps a foot

Waiting**Waiting**Waiting

A constant reminder of the days

That are yet to come
