The grey ghoul on her wall
grins as if it were laughing at me.
She smokes because it is going
out of fashion.
Wind chimes in her hair
sandalwood burns on the windowsill,
and I watch.
Bucket in her lap positioned
on the sofa bed
directly in front of the TV,
this is where she spends her weekends.
The puppy licks her ankles.
Four theatre masks lit in four flouro colours
watch over her,
wondering why I’m here.
Four pairs of black shoes
wait for her at the door
next to the dog meat.
Her fridge is empty
except for the cans of Jim Beam
and the cowboy shots.
She needs nothing
and wants no one.

 reports, 1d 8h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |
