Kim Van Breda Poet Free verse

Short Fuse

Short Fuse

It’s not the way it works
when I go down
I go down hard
it hurts to hit the bottom
it reprimands me

I hear your voice
but 
can hardly 
make a choice

so please burn the poems
if they injure you

don’t be swept away
by fire that seared me
when I was young
wrecking golden days
driving me to write
in the
heat of 
the 
moment
