Listen to poem:

Thud

The elbowed snooze.
Terminated cruise.

An angel flop
From clouds to drop 

To earthen soil.
All whites that spoil.

The unwise sage.
The soggy page

Of book that's bent
And only lent.

The final slice
Of pie that's nice.

The empty room
For party's broom.

Those sinking feels.
Burned catherine wheels.

Song out of key.
Spoiled milk in tea.

The silent voice
Behind the door.

The absent choice
When wanting more.

The moment passed
When dreams should last.

Less gentle thud,
For all that could.
