Week 49 - Eraser

Slowly coming to the end of a year of this. Winding down, down, down...

I write the pieces one week in advance to submit to David, and a lot can change in that time. It's strange reading back a piece I wrote only seven days ago and struggling to relate to it.


 

The streetlights are bouncing,

wild overhead.

 

There sits a car breathing hard at the cold,

In that half-hearted way that a night can unfold.

With a look

stretched tightly

across of its face.

Hardened by searching,

Giving

in

then

erased.

 

I can’t remember the last time I sat still.

 

end
