Dry Empty Street

A season for the homes dire Crooked are the places sure The dry empty street about All the hard parts shown The fabric of the aisle-way Corroded by the ripe plants Flowers expressed to their hilt Obscure is the path Where perfection isn’t primary The lights beckon to bring in The horrid pieces of life No house asunder
Russell Sivey
