Random Acts of Poetry: Premonitions

Random Acts of Poetry

Premonitions

Comes the night,
several super-people
say they've heard
all about you.

They carry
knives, they live
in tiny rooms
above a loud cafe.

Feet pound
outside the door
before falling down
an abandoned mine.

Whispers
in your head breathe:
you might as well
give up.

A little child says love
doesn't bleed enough--
she's hidden her innocence
in the dark.

A far-away bell
rings, the front page
cries results
are in doubt.
