limbo

by tré melvin

once upon a time

there lived a man

who lived on the edge of earth

and the edge of hell

the edge of land

and the edge of oxidation

the edge of sea

and the edge of asphyxiation

twice upon a time

there lived a man

who loitered behind his back door

clenching a loaded shotgun

anticipating an intruder

who would never break into his home

because the intruder

owned the home
