Unmoving Sadness

Unmoving Sadness. 

The air is still around the houses today 
it could be because it is Saturday
and it needs a rest. 
Still air has a musty smell like bedding
not changed for six month,
the apathy of those who live in filth. 
I put a lit candle on the window sill
It is in airs nature, to try blowing it out
window pane rattles 
The air is crisp and clear  
carries the aroma of a jute sack of carob beans.
