i unplug the hour

i unplug the hour

sit in silence

a thousand whitewashed walls

between us

his smile ancient

like glued sentences

his arms, warm

it’s a darker night tonight

few stars

fog gone

naked rain boots drying in corner

he writes the strangest metaphors

brilliant

heartfelt

pen purged

voice hesitant

light bulb sheltered

by receiver

i retire to bed

lull a blue cough, good-night

    This is lovely. I love the short little bits and pieces and the way they yet all hang together. K.

      Thanks. I’ve been working hard to finish my story, Attack of The Red Killer Pencils on my Myspace blog. It should be finished in a few days. I just posted Part 91. That’s why I haven’t written all that much poetry this weekend. Thank you so much for your kind words. M.A.
