Empty

I stare

 

Ice cold glass with condensation

 

dripping

 

dropping

 

ticking

 

tocking

 

time

 

The clock tilts at angles

 

My hands turn and flip

 

While I sip

 

My eyes bore into the land

 

Laid out before me

 

Like a beautiful woman

 

Her skin a callous brown

 

her plateaus and valley's

 

My lady, my land

 

I smile into my glass

 

The screen door slams shut

 

As they rush in

 

Knock over my table

 

Stand before me

 

Barrel staring me down

 

The war rages on my lady

 

The glass breaks

 

The hands stop

 

And I laugh
