Footfalls Poem by Phillip Erb

Footfalls

Rating: ★4.5


A gutter runs down the brick outside the front door
I live in the room on the other side and count footsteps in the rain
I draw the blinds,
drape out the light,
open the screen wide,
rehearse lies and keep closed my eyes because sometimes
the dark is my only light.
