the weeds and grass have been flattened by the snow
the old grey fence barely stands
and part of it is flat on the ground like it's wasted
the bones of the shrubbery weep and they wilt since the sun disappeared
the buildings look like they're just ghosts of themselves dying to fade straight into the fog that travels towards the street from the river
i wish i could walk towards the fog til my body is weightless and clear
the sky was always grey, the trees never lvied
they've all been dead since time was a kid
this town was built for the lost and the hopeless
a home for the grey empty souls and sometimes i wish i wasn't here
but it's fine
i walk with burdened thoughts that desert me
the alleyways are filled with trash from the street
the dumptruck comes to take it on mondays
i shoudl put myself in a bag and i'll wait til the trashmen are here
a lonely bouy floats as the river flows,
patches of ice drift downstream toward their destitute with my hopes of getting better,
i'll have to lurch out my door and just hope that the clouds disappear
