Millions.

The second poem for Commas & Colons was Millions by Konnor Thorpe. I really enjoyed my first taste of interpreting poetry through drawing, and it is (already) definitely something I want to revisit.

Millions

brutal men dressed in wool and whiskey

and cigarette smoke

talk about their wives

war stories

waiter waits

blue button eyes

didn’t win the jackpot

never do

he says

maybe next week

always next week

ain’t it

twenty million dollars

what couldn’t you buy

- words by Konnor Thorpe.


Again you can find my illustration alongside its muse here as part of the ,&; 'Achoo' issue.
