[P] Niar

The blinds
CLASH
against the wall
from the wind

TpTpTpTpTp
rain falling
TpTpTpTpTp
faded light
CRACK
of a tree branch
echoes against
brick
mortar
concrete,

silently
death waits
formed as a baby robin
motionless,
dead thereof.

reality
fantasy
collide





but not for a tired,


resting




bird.

[P] Defeat


eyes roll back
into my head
never seen so great
a darkness

listening to the
quiet echos of
a beaten
heart

thump thump
drifting away
thump thump
drifting toward
thump thump
time to stop it
thump thump
before it even started
