BANGOR (that OR) ME

the scent of dirty clothes drifts
as the lazy dog turns in circles
A red rimmed man has tired eyes
watching for his fate
which  settle on my hands
that are filled with the devils work
even though they hardly stop moving
but the eyes never waiver
as the noose cracks

spooky and disturbing--and I liked it very much...love how you brought out the senses--
or how the senses brought out me...lol...loved it, but have to wonder what Dr. Freud would say about that...

thanks...
