break


by Rene Foran



what's the matter?
his words
hung
mid air mingling
with the late afternoon 
shuffle and dust

take my hand
she exhaled
deflating the inevitable 
i can't anymore 
i just seem to be stuck
is all

she poured the
bone colored
grit into her coffee
watching
as it turned a lighter shade of
resignation
