BRIAN & ANGELA

DESOLATION TWO ~ A Sonnet

As I approached the city at dawn ~ it had

A strange ethereal orange glow

The only lighting was vegetable oil lamps

And BEESWAX Candles ~ This gave the

Houses a sexy honey scent ~ Like a

Ladies boudoir as I remember !

 

Only the lower part of the city

Was occupied and I saw scrawny dogs ~cats ~ rats

And I glimpsed a skeletal human form

Furtive in the gloom of a window.

No laughter ~ no chidren ~ an air fo gloom and doom  

I regretted returning ~ but was very intrigued

 

I pushed open a door of a derilect house

But reeled in horror at what met my eyes ................... !

 

Thanks for visiting ~ Comments please ~ Part THREE tomorrow ~ BRIAN
