short forms 11th June 2017

report:
fell on the tracks
of an oncoming train
The suspicious death of her gay
brother

fungi
on the rain-soaked lawn

shopping trip
the last of my cash
until next week
Chicken and beefburgers
salad for myself

jiu-jitsu blues
my skills are finite
depressing

I used to be okay
now I'm adequate
barely able to defend

"Look! You can beat Rachel."

Quiet night. Burning away the past.
