if i make it, another
still looms large
a shadow down an alley
late at night, unending
never mind the dumpster, sitting
along the side, it's just a rest stop
inside rats forage,look
for company and a meal
detritus, life's throwaways
some people dive, others just curl up
a fetid fetus,
drained of color, lacking tools
or the will to stare
into solitude's soulless face
how much easier it is, to use a newspaper
for a shroud,
rather than read it, blanket oneself
with the grief and despair of others,
company for compost

bluebellalmost 15 years agoA vivid, hard poem. With true, steely lines. I like it very much, and not just because I feel it fits my current mood. Truly good. Thank you for sharing.
