The Web Poetry Corner - Thomas Michael McDade - A Plea Ignored

A Plea Ignored

by

Thomas Michael McDade

Before the tornado
ash trees absorbed
the barking of dogs
and blocked
the phantom
rod of light
trespassing now
through an east
facing window.
It falls on the back
of a yet another
door on the west
side of the cottage,
exposing a sudden
creeping crack,
a knock-high
reminder
of an ancient
pounding,
a plea ignored
that led to mayhem.
Prayers the yelping
will someday be
tolerable at least
go unanswered.
The hounds never chew
the haunting wires
to halt the glowing
entry scar or shock
themselves mute.
Shades don’t hold
their tongues.
Blinds rattle
to the floor.
The slightest breeze
kills new trees.
