Tired Of Today Poem by Seamus O' Brian

Tired Of Today

Rating: 5.0


In the master bedroom
above the bed, just to the right
of where I usually sleep
there is a dent in the wall

The clock whose corner
matches the dent
can no longer be found.

Just a memory of fury
unleashed on a clock
and a wall.
The scar on two hearts
words flung like a clock
Hearts bruised like a wall

When hell is in the ring
nobody wins
just two beaten fighters
holding the ropes
praying tomorrow comes soon.

Boy, don't I know it! The dent left by a flung clock is a telling detail. When anger steps into the ring, a considerable number of precious moments are thrown away.
