when my friend first succumbed to drugs

when my friend first succumbed to drugs

fiction
edward w pritchard

When my friend first succumbed to drugs I leaned forward,
feet planted wide, arms strong, torso taunt, will  committed

When my friend next succumbed to drugs I stood straight
back stiff, teetering on tip toes, elbows bent, palms upright, emotions mixed

When my friend last succumbed to drugs I pulled back,
head turning away, weight on heels, palms facing forward
stomach turning, tear in left eye
