Everly

 

 

A vacancy sign blinks in your lazy eye 

Bent awkwardly and reeking of bourbon like a sleeping angel 

You are somewhere miles off

In the mountains you adore

You left me here to pick up empty bottles

Heartbroken and morose yet with a glimmer of hope...just not *hope* typically personified. I like this a lot.

Don't let any one shake your dream stars from your eyes, lest your soul Come away with them! -SS

Okay

just tell me I'm not supposed to laugh. When the story is so set down well and the lesson is at action and the poet has placed herself in the action and drawn the reader in to reflect on similar actions done to them . . . yeah. Laughter is a response to reality sometimes. - slc

I say laugh or you'll cry. It's an emotional response all the same!!
