A Rock, An Island

by Anita Mac

He dismissed me.

I sit on the edge of my bed,
phone in hand.

And reasons change here.

There is no life I would not be interrupting,
by this moment of my shattering.

I like that last line a lot. It has a nice kick when spoken aloud. Great work.

you're right, he was never the same without that curly headed guy, though he's still pretty great. and so is this piece.
