Kuro Matching Contest - 3 - Spring 2014 • Millikin University

the black abyss
grows darker
oil spill

groaning machinery
this exhausting day
even the water fountain protests

time never gives
another chance
the second hand

silence for a moment
faint, constant beeping
wake up, daddy

old furniture
the company I'll have tonight
unforgiven

distorted vision
my eyes tear filled
from her mother's comment

weeping willow
waiting
for no one
anymore

a rainbow over a pond
beauty at the moment
second storm coming

the children laugh
too young to understand:
great aunt's funeral

newborn baby
one step closer
to death

spendin' time//money
with//on Mary Jane & Molly—
we'll die someday

frost
eating the warmth
dying flowers

snapped finger and
she didn't
even blink

he wishes
he could do it over
broken mug

raising a glass to
no one
warm moonlight

empty bottle
always before
the thirst is gone
