Poem: Washington DC to Hartford

I decided to write a poem of NaPoWriMo's poetry prompt for and aubade. If you want to write your own response, you can go here.

Here's my response...

Washington DC to Hartford

12am

We drive through New York

George Washington Bridge

And $14 less.

Our wheels

Succumb penniless

To pothole highway

To mourn the grief

This Monday

Of bridges

And tolls.

An ode

To arrive home

At 2am.

All is dark

And urgent,

A bladder full

And clumsy

Up the back stairs. 

Relief

And then sleep.

 

Short, but no more.

 

Upon Monday sun

I dream awake.
