BACK LOT

shadow424

with a quiet

ground beneath

and wide blue skies

overhead,

a time worn

red chipped

clapboard sided

railroad station

struggles to stand

 

chain locked doors

weeds between tracks,

broken glass and

tin cans

 

no engines

or cars to tow

no steam

or water,

only dry

unforgiving winds,

blowing flat

over the past

of nevermore

  • L. B. Mek

    a vivid read, I get a yearning for a past that can never be re-lived
    and that old age, creeping-up: on all of us
    insuring, we'll end-up:
    'red chipped
    clapboard sided
    railroad station'
    'chain locked doors
    weeds between tracks,
    broken glass'
    in memories of those loved one's: we live behind...
    (a wonderful read, thanks for sharing)
