I'm Not Your Magic Johnson (tanka prose)
like dark clouds
these words hovering
in my mind:
Did you ever love me?
I love that you loved me
The low rumble of distant thunder. On the way home, I walk with a heavy step, my legs aching. I am dragged down by this inescapable fact that tomorrow is Monday and it will be hard to get up.
