What Morning Holds Poem by Ben Partenay

What Morning Holds

Rating: ★5.0


it wasn’t a pleasant dream
that made me start
awake
but an image of myself
with no head
and coal where my
heart had been

it wasn’t the rising sun
that woke me from
my sleep
but the quiet foreboding
that morning held
much worse
