THE COMPLETE NICK ARMBRISTER POETRY COLLECTION Volume 1 1996 - 2013

REED


I bow down to life as it crushes me completely,
relentlessly and incomprehensively.
The pressure is so much, is my breaking point near?
Or will I last out forever while those around me fall?
I don’t know and I can only guess at the outcome
as I take it day by day.
I have so little that I can call my own,
just my things that can be moved in a day.
I had a car and a wife but I was never really happy,
not in the way that love would last forever.
I am like a reed, bending in the wind

but will I break in the hurricane or sway in the breeze?
