Deserted

Once a thriving town      now
         dust devils
curl and tumble on the
           broken pavement, along
with swirling leaves and 
                bits of paper 
  empty  storefront windows 
once          FILLED         with clothes,
pastries        groceries     sundries,
stare at the desolate scene 
through shattered glass
deserted streets,     
       bereft
of        crowds      of people,
only an occasional fox, 
           chittering squirrel or bird
interacting              with the 
          constant wind…..
