open the window to hear sounds of people and it's neighbors arguing into the phone, yappy little dogs, and kids yelling "I'M GONNA TELL YOUR FATHER"

Three Poems by Stephanie Anderson - BRUISER

THE PRIZE, COUNTING ROADSIDE SCENES & INHERIT DEATH LIKE A BIRTHRIGHT

www.bruisermag.com

stephanie 💽 @whoastanderson.bsky.social · 17d

still real proud of this one happy #smallpoemsunday

“inherit death like a birthright” by stephanie anderson, after MSPAINT:

my father took his father’s keys
one cool summer night while
the driveway counted crickets

dad, what will you do
when your heart gives out
with your right hand on the wheel

well
he says
i’ll pull over
