Malice in Four Thoughts
By Bruce Robinson
They didn’t see it coming
(how could they?)
And then it rained, rained
and we weren’t witness
so we can only surmise
that the days grew shorter
and who’s to say that clocks
could demonstrate a direction
and there was nothing
one could do about it
(which is what we did)
Recent work by Bruce Robinson appears or is forthcoming in Mobius, Fourth River/Tributaries, Pangyrus, Blueline, and the Beautiful Cadaver social justice anthology.
“Malice in Four Thoughts” was previously published by Indolent Books’ What Rough Beast.
