R.I.P. Lee McQueen

poem - © Jesús Montero

Minutes scratch the seconds

Out of the midnight hours.

Life at her worst.

Yet again.

Too many thorns

And not enough flowers.


Minutes scratch the seconds

Out of the midnight hours.

Death comes to knock,

On a door

That dreams

Should have kept quiet.


Minutes scratch the seconds

Out of the midnight hours.

Black starless skies.

Not a soul.

Nothing.

All is deafening quiet.
