Misplaced Life (Free verse) by Richard
You, a new flavor expanding
Across my dying taste buds
A sickness or virus with no cure
Wounded, without prejudice
A dirty welcome mat.
The cause for insecurity
Rusted bars of pitted iron
A busted headlight and cracked windshield
Twisted mirrors of an aborted life.
Cursed future's contracting
Extra small hangman's noose
Around a broken ankle
Dangling upside down.
Bailing is to no avail
A turbulent afterlife awaits
Peace is for strangers-
My home a graveyard in flames.
