Comunidad Sin Alma
Too busy they were
the passing conglomerate
focused on pavement
eyes ever forward
with their get there stare of hedonistic servitude
trailing their marching tempo of mobile phones
hard in the glass
hard to their homes
disguising all those battered egos
the ranks and filed passed
too tiled to notice
too isolated to care
Through her veins a tearful of sorrow
threatening a steady collapse
within her
no sinews strength to up hold
such falterings emotional shudder
dragged a crooked hand across her brow
frozen amid the throng
a foothold placed upon the teetering curb stone
a lost child suddenly alone
all the turbulence of strangers and their directions unknown
unsettling expression of this human
too afraid of the broken
too marooned becomes overburdened
Midst the hymns frenetic purge
the revving tarmac belching throat fumes raw
the in surge
the out push
jostled hustlers in an elbows grunt
forward those flightless angels rush
hard in the welcome
cold in their skins
dragging all those flattered egos
so well tranquillized against the need to share
too worn on paid attention
too lonely to even dare
Time in her slow motion
through her frame rattled jerking sobbed
a vacuums immolation
pumping grief around this girlish heart
she etched out a scarecrow on the pavements field
nothing for such ragged fingers to clutch
Too preoccupied the others were
in the slipstreams conglomerate
the ease of avoidance
eyes which never caught a moment of tenderness
no in answer to any word of comfort
for this bedraggled vagabond begging to be released from the stone
Trailing their marching shadow in mobile phones
they skirted around a quarantined space of her own
they left her alone
too tiled to notice
too isolated to care
too afraid of the broken
too marooned becomes overburdened
too worn on paid attention
too lonely to even dare
