the scent of dirty clothes drifts
as the lazy dog turns in circles

the red rimmed man has tired eyes
watching for his fate

they 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

personally, i dig this sharp vignette. i wonder how intentional it was that you spelled it "waiver" vs. "waver" ... personally, i like the idea that it's a play on words.

Peace
