Day 28, Noir


Noir.
Too late already, time sundialled away…

You shouldn’t have come here, not Mexico
Your white suit makes you easy to spot
If I can do it he can too. Come back,
Was all he said. I don’t care about him.
You will, he runs this town. Owns it. Owns me.
No one owns you, didn’t you tell me that?
That’s from a time I thought I could leave him,
Until he’s finished with me you’re not safe.
I should deal with it. Face your problems, ma said,
So did you. Don’t get in any deeper, just go,
Too many people are ghosts still walking
Like me so do what I say before it’s

…Outside the bar a shadow crossed the window.
