The Duel On Monday
The Duel on Monday
Mark Miller © 09/01/2013
Brain woke today sound of gun shots as a dog walked in
Barks from trains regain my strength for another day filed: distilled feelings
Finished duel last night man named Lansky distinguished appearance hopelessness,
Criticized outlook town folks skewed version of cynicism in mans defeatism
Wonder why people make such horrible mistakes based on needful hates
Nausea stomach aches possible life takes share of stakes in each bet made in haste
Looked outside thought I saw sun say high waved look said goodbye
Still thinking what we truly know of you or who or the dog next store named blue
Do you have clue?
Medication taken emotion still shaken-ed by memory leftover from nightmares stray
Where to go or why to stay he states no other options available its Monday
Spirits heading low in sadden gloomy glow outlook betrayed by dim deadened display
Lost shadow left by kitchen window lost hidden hollow hole by sundown he'll show
Just thoughts gone by through minds tone in status quorum with unconscious quarrel
