Poem of the Day: We're Over

We’re Over

By Corey Jensen

An apple dangles dangerously; drops.

Falls feet first into a cranium of ideas.

Revolvers shoot bullets of revolution.

Neurons dig deep trenches, and wait…

Drenched by a downpour of chemicals.

Brain cells bursting amidst warfare;

Each one cries, “Over hear.  Over there.”

I hear “We’re over.”

My heart floats far away, tied down

By a kite string—tears strung together

Woven over years singing forever,

Struck down by lightning sharp words

Broken on the ground; burning tears

Ignite the gasoline of liquid dreams

Smoke screaming, “Over hear. Over there.”

I know we’re over.

An apple dangles dangerously; drops

My heart floats far away; tied down.

Bubble gum wrappers; an old comb.

Dirty dishes, clothes, and lost dreams.

Tuna sandwich, Doritos, Bud light.

Slivers of glass; fight then flight

Open door; cold wind; empty bed

All say, “We’re over”.
