Gingerly



The mug was still hot.
Fresh from the microwave,
At first it was burning,
Then slowly it recedes.

An arm swept past the table,
Clearing it of all utensils.
A gruff voice barked an unintelligible command,
As a pair of hands tightened around him.

There was bright light.
A beam shone between his eyes.
Unfocused and dazed from the hauling,
Waiting for the next.

Erratic Behaviour
