To His Lips
Written by
on
in
Vindaloo.
He stares out the dark window
Half-eaten sandwich rising to his lips
Without seeing the undead suits
Crowded around him to feast
On the dark corpse of hope
He doesn't consider the taste
Perhaps
It has no great taste
Still
It rises unbidden to his lips
Previous day
Next day
