demons but
beware
it’s a thin
line between
survivor
and victim
i often look
at all these
scars
every story
behind them
every
harrowing
situation that
involves a lonely
housewife and
someone coming
home early from
work
surrounded
by day drinkers
the only thing
keeping you
from being
shot dead

J.J. Campbell (1976 - ?) is old enough to know where the bodies are buried. He's been widely published over the years, most recently at Synchronized Chaos, Cajun Mutt Press, The Rye Whiskey Review, Misfit Magazine and just good poems. You can find him most of the time on his mildly entertaining blog, evil delights. (https://evildelights.blogspot.com)
