A Breeze

Folder: 
Published Works

A breeze;
A drunken man stumbling past the shadow
of a decaying brick wall
He screams.
Walls bounce sound but do not listen.
Loneliness evident.

A song;
A voice from another planet that attacks
the illogic of his life.
His face;
Bloated skin, grey eyes.
Too many glasses of beer in a lifetime.

A soft rain.
A urinating dog with its leg up in defiance
against a tombstone.
He remembers
before he took to vomiting on his shoes.

A mystery.
A sledgehammer breaking apart the
brittle lies of his life.
He cries.
Trying to maintain his masculinity as his
tears hit the shambles of his world

He'll die
Who will miss him?
