Night Inspired

Bornieo: Fully Loaded · 11-13-2008, 03:11 PM

Candled flicker

awoke to the sound of metal trash can hitting the concrete curb.
I stretched and opened a window.

opened the paper today and checked the obituaries to see if I was listed.
I was not and I bit into a potato chip.

logged onto the internet to check to see if anyone was looking for me.
I made note.

turned off the light and took a sip of water to quench my dried throat.
I closed my eyes and yet they were wetter still staining the pillow.

Reprise.

I'm so glad you were inspired, and brave enough to post your poem. Good work. I've been missing original LoT work - and here's hoping your poem will inspire more, from you and from others.
