Kim Rodrigues Poet Free verse

Sideways View

head straight
ahead
as the bulb
snaps

it’s only
a phone
record

that old smile
delivered
painfully

his vertebrae 
reverberates
back
to its normal
state

a nurse
pushes
him back
to his room

Caren Krutsinger June 28, 2019 at 5:11 AM I am glad that you added an explanation Kim as I did not understand at all until I saw it. I like all of your poetry, but was confused by this one for sure! Kim Rodrigues June 28, 2019 at 8:11 AM Gotcha!
