A Medley of Monoku

A MEDLEY OF MONOKU a tarnishing of golden years – the murmurings of madness homeless amid the rubble – the acrid stench of flames knit one, purl… three kittens – one ball of yarn a darkened window – separation too good – too soon – too bad streetlights and snowflakes – pixilated mirage table for one – check please in the midst of plenty – the alleys lie cold terror - silence – screaming in the darkness obsession’s deadline – three nips until noon questions without answers – battery failure sad bells call the faithful – unaware they are not failure – potential, rotting on the vine cur dogs – an angry mob – feeding off each other ©12/22/2017 John G.
