Abandoned Town
by Pearcemelville
Void of Souls
Expecting weed to tumble and roll
streets houses barren bare
A solitary figure walks alone
in silence
Penetrating silence
Wait did something move?
No the wind in eave
willywilly winding lonely
street wisping dust marking out a
cloudy trace
curlingswirls dance fly updownvanish
No hustle no boots no Parasols laughter no skirts
Horses carriage children
Dogs
Not a hint nor trace of life left remnant in silence Penetrating silence
Saloon Door Creaks
floorboard aches
halflit Hall Stairs chandelier
Is a ghost perhaps exuding this chill
The Bar longmirrors register stool
Walking out look behind
Buildings stores tell of decline
Rails trough horseshoe Nail
Stories hidden memory of gunfire
Silence penetrating lonely Town
