Blank Eyes


Blank Eyes - drawing by Harvey Dog 2020

put down that crack pipe
the cop tells Blank Eyes

you don’t think i’ve tried?
Blank Eyes lit
the remains
of her dreams

the cop shakes his head
walks away muttering:
i got better things to do
i got better things to do

Blank Eyes
escapes her reality,
10 minutes of relief,
10 minutes of peace,
respite

then…

back to hell
her prison
her life


Notes

  • …lots of Blank Eyes on the streets, defeated, seeking relief…peace.
