Creak

 


The floorboard groans

Nail heads at uneven heights

Poking out to claw into the errant piece of skin that chooses to graze in its path.

Arranged in haphazard order

No symmetry

Each squawk of wood’s lament

Each one, not the same as the last

No pattern

Except the guaranteed

display of sound,

Acknowledging the discontent

at the point of impact.
