lesson



© Brian Sullivan


what does tomorrow look like 
when the glassy eyes refract the light?  
beneath the glow of the waning crescent
the other half of my whole


as the door creaks open
the little sliver of darkness sneaks in
reflecting off the brick wall 

bouncing back to ricochet again
a game of racquetball


again here then to there
following with my eyes til they crash
for the third time
maybe its the fourth


learning nothing but seeing
denial in the inevitable 
it will happen again
when the never seems possible
thats when the fun begins
