The bare-boned city
The stench and aroma
of regret, and failure.
The stench of love lost.
The dream that was lit
and extinguished
with the same hands
that built the hope
of a future.
The landmarks are laughing,
taunting with their eyes
that follow the dragging feet
around the same paths
two once walked.
Now one,
but broken and dismembered,
in the belly of the beast
that was once the source
of energy and life,
is now dead, and dying.
The stench and aroma
of regret, and failure.
The stench of love lost.
The dream that was lit
and extinguished
with the same hands
that built the hope
of a future.
The landmarks are laughing,
taunting with their eyes
that follow the dragging feet
around the same paths
two once walked.
Now one,
but broken and dismembered,
in the belly of the beast
that was once the source
of energy and life,
is now dead, and dying.
