short forms 23rd February 2016

a boy
walks on his own
in the cemetery.
She wonders what he thinks about.
the dead?

distant dog
calls for companionship
twilight barking

a friend edits
an old novella
'The boy who couldn't lie'
I'm almost afraid to look
at the new critique

head pressure
fells like a tidal wave
in my temples

a bout of tinnitus
but at low frequency
enterprise hum

take another aspirin

The tap water tastes foul. Arsenic.

"The dead?" Or a new love? The young are so irreverent.

Please feel better. *hugs*
