room 13 for rentA Poem by highonwordsa mask, you wear your presence, a smile with no bite, you missed me, by a beat, a step, a mile, an hour, just numbers - the room, unlucky 13, three stops on red lights - they sandbagged the exit door, there is no sign of a fire-escape, a trapdoor, no holy water, no bible on the motel-side-table, the cherubs didn't look sad, but looked unhappy to me, on our way to love - i have no other word for what we have, i can't believe it isn't, otherwise, i wouldn't be here, couldn't leave not thinking of children, a husband i left, begging me not to go, with someone, who wouldn't ask me - to stay © 2016 highonwordsReviews
