Find your edge. Sunday 160.

-
It’s time to

wake up

on

edge.



You

threw

thoughtless sound

bites.



Axes

conviction-sharp,

stuck.



Falling

to the ground

around me,



are blades,

dulled by mis-use

and neglect.


-just an old prose poem, fiction today, whittled down for the 1 year anniversary of Monkey Man's blog: Sunday 160 Flash Fiction challenge.  Visit his blog HERE and meet the challenge of a short story or poem in exactly 160 characters, including spaces! 

 Happy anniversary flashers!
