Paper People

Hills crowd close yonder, 
My cries echo back & forth-
Th' void in my heart.

Blameless Sunday night,
Punished nonetheless: by your
Selfish Monday gloom.

Love does not live here,
Not anymore; ever since
We became brothels.

I love the idea of being punished by another's Monday mornings. A thought that I can identify with so easily. Great stuff.
