Cleveland Respect

A gun pointed at my face
in the darkest black hole
hides an enraged fear 
It feared  
that I would not leave  
the home  
I had lived in  
for 19 years  
It feared  
It could not hold its temper
and would throw its tantrum  
by piercing my chest  
It was held by a young  
and even handsome  
guy,  
who does this
as his job  
at this jobless moment  
willing to do anything  
Including  
pulling that trembling trigger
  
This all happened last morning  
When
I was evicted  
From my house  
Where I had lived 
for 19 years  
The young 
and even handsome
guy  
reshealthed the gun
and its fear  
then  
he posted on my door  
"FORECLOSED"
