GOING TO LOSE HIS JOB

GOING TO LOSE HIS JOB

I feel… drained. I open the blinds and close the door, look out the window at a branch waving
like one long line of people
brushes it as they walk south.
I’d forgotten there’s a certain rhythm
between the wind
and the branches.

    I close the door and open the blinds, look out the window at a
    branch waving
    like one long line of people
    shaking as they walk south.
    I’d forgotten there’s a rhythm
    between the wind
    and the branches.

    maybe put a little more over rhytum in the closing couplet. I like the long first line alot the formatting doesn’t look like it will remain in my reworked vision.

    GOES TO THE WINDOW AFTER LOSING HIS JOB

    I close the door and open the blinds, look out the window at a branch waving
    like one long line of people
    brush against it as they walk south.
    I’d forgotten there’s a rhythm
    between the wind
    and the branches.
