Brent Henry Poems

There she was again
In their living room
A woman racked with pain and shivering
Impending doom Clench your teeth in rage
...

At this instant, I'm watching the steam
Rise off of my blueberry pancakes
The seat across the table is bare
Bright moon mocks me through the window glass Waitresses holler and take orders
...

Sometimes
Deep down
There is pain inside me. I thought
A rose
...
