Poem of the Week: The Drop
Nov 10, 2022
The drop.
The moment in which the whole world comes to a stop,
A screeching halt,
An internal revolt,
A bolt through the heart.
A scream.
A drop.
It clatters to the floor,
Out the wail pours,
A flinging open of doors,
Brought to all fours,
There is no more.
The clock.
A tick followed by a tock,
The continuation of time is a shock,
That the world did not lock in place,
Tears running down a face,
A cruel pace,
Life so easily erased.
Tick.
Tock.
Such a terrible shock.
You drop.
