Bedside-
she’s on her back
numb and bent
staring at a stucco ceiling.
Outside-
She hears
insects scream
and birds kill their weaklings.
Inside-
she wonders if this pig-man
will ever finish
and sputter up a sad seedling.

I like this short format. I also like how it suggests something but don’t really explain anything in detail.
Thanks for “liking” and subbing. I followed your lead.
