In Hollowed Eyes
All along the wind-swept streets
vacant windows stare
like ancient statues of stone
eyes blaring
where they stand in their site
hollow faces cracked façades
as ancient buildings pass
night has come
a chill is here at last
along the vacant roads
of a vast city in sleep
stretching out into the unknown
not a soul of this world turns
but eyes unknown stare
like vacant windows along
a windswept street
like eyes of a statue, blind
standing in hollowed eyes
blind in sight
a scene
all in a different light
as neon pulses and flickers
waiting to die
as gloom
lingers in windows
faces float ghostly
across a vacant city
in its deepest sleep.
