a near miss
a yellow light
i watch from down the street as the bus pulls away
the sale ended yesterday
faulty service
faulty engine
i go to pick up my stuff
the relationship ended yesterday
last stage of the interview
last semester of university
i reach for leaves just past my fingertips
my chances ended before i knew they were there
how much longer can i want?
how much longer can i beg?
About the Creator
Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."
