Rag Doll

Applauding rain

battered the tin roof,

as he

battered her.

 

In his mind

playing to God,

the voyeur

of his madness.

 

The widows rattled,

moist air rushed in

to sooth his blooded back.

 

With gritted knees,

and bedevilled eyes

he dressed,

not looking back

 

 

◄ The Lion and the Unicorn (from sea to shining sea)

Shades of convenience and ease ►
