Declined

To Stay

By Marie BarPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Two worlds.

Black hole of the Mind

Dirt chocked little town.

Secrets get out.

Crushed beer can on the step.

Little opportunity except

on his back in the back room.

Sweet sweat sex on the floor

Fixing some poor fellow up from a bar

Pull on the jeans

Opened the old screen and screeched louder than he wanted.

Carefully eased out of the stuffy dark space to the safe street.

Later

Lying on the bed to her left

Injured in the trade, rock fall in the mind.

Get through her restrictions to the spring.

He knew he had limited time left.

Masked in terms.
