Danny

Danny down the hall
just behind the door.
Thunder coming  from it.
Presence made galore.

Cozy with a two-four.
Danny home to drink.
Left upon his own.
A girl to make him think.

T-shirt with a logo.
Danny's casual dress.
Smell of smoke right through it.
His ball cap holding mess.

Shoes left in the hallway
leaning to the wall.
Just aside the pathway
where Danny sweeps the hall.

Sunshine from the window
Danny stands in view.
Watching those who enter
whenever one comes through.

Danny down the hallway.
Asking what is new.
Pray it's not a foul mood
or Danny's on the brew.
