Poem -

at the corner

you know that it's daylight
from light that nags
the corner of your eye

you know that it's day
that you've tears on your face
that the dog needs to go out
that you're a disgrace

yet still
you keep
your eyes tightly closed

Because you can't leave this bed
Because you need to be dead

whilst the dog holds its bladder
And longs to be fed

Take the dog out he doesn't feel the same and by the way, by the time you come back you won't either 😉 I do love the way your poetry speaks. 🌹

Some days are pretty tough, aren't they, Marion?
Tomorrow will be a better day, maybe the light won't be so harsh.  Hugs, B
