5:45 AM
Creeping dawn coming up again
Still dark and wet
Dew setting up on the lawn
Shovel’s in the shed
Lightly tread on the grass
Two foot prints left behind
one stamped one dragged
Behind white lines moving fast
under bald R16’s 4 and a hole on the floor
Rust and gravel bits
Grace your face
You’re tied
But still alive
Indents in the skin
Rope fragments settle in
And you start to wake now
The rag vapors fade down
That knot doesn’t seem to hold
(but don’t let him know you’re free)
Biding your time
Lure him
Slice him
His vision dims
Dry heave from his fumes, you win then blackout
