Abstract image of an opulent room

This for That, and Then Some
by Levon DeBranch

A "friend"
of mine,
who rarely takes
his anti-depressants
as prescribed,
got a little too close
to me one day and
suggested
that I go see a
dentist
for a check-up.
I told him a little
pink in the
sink
is still significantly less
worrisome
than a
lot of red —

in the tub.

 

Levon DeBranch writes poems daily. His publication history is limited, but his work has appeared in Boston Literary Magazine as well as The New Verse News.
