Wasteland

The town is empty all houses are deserted. vacant streets solemnly lie in stillness long ago the rivers have dried up leaving hard cracked ground behind. There's no one here No one left. The town's become a wasteland. Tumble weeds roll past naked lawns carried on by dry dusty wind. a half-hinged door bangs somewhere in the distance. The wind hears- then chooses not to listen.

The wind has the last word, and a chilling, haunting one it is, Allen. Well-penned! :) gw

There is a sacredness in writing a poem like this for every one of my senses can feel and hear what is happening here, in this ghost town. And now I see it is not a town at all, yet, in my mind it is, so thank you for that.
