(mostly) short poems on life and love

waiting for a sign

August 12, 2021 by Michael Guerin

thunder rumbles
and rattles the screen.

fat raindrops slap
against the shack’s tin roof.

inside, the hurricane lamp
flames fitfully

spitting oily smoke
up the glass chimney.

down to shorts
my body drips with sweat.

she calls to me
from the canopied bed

but rooted
near shuttered doors

i wait for night
to grant me a sign, instead.
