Latenite Query



Do my footsteps fall harder

when I come home late at night

or are you coiled like a snake

feigning sleep

ready to strike?


Did the heathen night creatures

keep you up until dawn?


Why do you hide beneath blankets

as you scream:


"Nothing's wrong!"


When morning comes are you awake

or have you just begun to sleep?


Is what I see just the scar

of some deeper injury?




About the author:



Mark Finnemore lives in California with his beautiful wife Panji, who helped him learn that even the rockiest road can lead to a happy ending. Mark is currently working on a novel entitled "Love & Taxes", which he hopes will one day be not only finished, but published and found at your local book store as well.


Mark has a story included in an upcoming "young adult" anthology entitled Spirited, which is donating all proceeds to 826 National, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting students ages 6 - 18 with their writing skills, and to helping teachers inspire their students to write.
