Poetry

Excerpt: Dry as Bone



I was in love, I thought   

though cracks ran deep   

the earth shook with explosions   

gas stations catching fire far away   

we listened together to the screams   

and hid under the window, clutching each other   

as police in riot gear marched in a line down the alley.      


I think you left me then, though it took years   

to finally take hold.
