Hank rolled up.
His face was all screwed up, a total wreck.
“Tom’s dead,” he said.
I didn’t know the guy.
“Just Friday, we said hey… shook his hand.”
It was Monday.

Drip coffee in one hand.
Greasy sub in the other.
Sitting at a gas station,
Chewing, watching people drift by.
Always liked that.

“I’m so damn miserable, C.,”
she said before hanging up.
She was down,
the guy she was with
didn’t give a shit about her.

There is only us
the intelligent ones
and we destroyed it all
knowingly, willingly
by surrendering
to our ambitions...

His ankles were swollen.
He needed people—
and support—
just to walk.

With old, tired eyes,
he looked at the motorcycle.
Smiling like a child,
he said,

The King's Fall

and asked the question...

Along
the river’s
crashing waves,
Love arrived.
The sky,

A Tired Hum
by C. Rook

sitting slumped on the couch.
The lamp’s yellow glow
