Rolling

Written by Jacob Ibrag

Black marble rolling on uneven

pavement. She follows as it gains speed, rolling

over gum indentations and aged concrete. Nowhere

else she’d rather exist, focusing on distraction rather

than the people she promised to forget. Black marble

rolling past the empty houses, past the empty cars.

She follows as it gains speed, rolling over the

hidden scars of a quiet community.
