In Neath
In this back street in Neath
I hear the patter of rain...
The drains are filling fast,
and I'm so cold.
Reflective windows
are there none in this dark street,
for all is boarded up -
a travesty.
Black male cats
don't show up in this bleak street,
or females come to think of it...
A joke - that's me.
But I'm so cold
that I can barely chat to you,
and this isolation
is wearying to my soul.
More I cannot speak -
so wet in thundery rain
and it's filling up my shoes...
I have to go.
