No Vacancies
The maiden aged that none can suit
The barren tree that bears no fruit
The ample hills that none can climb
A distant memory in time
The grapes of wrath that yields no wine
That rots and withers on the vine
Alas, in time will take its toll
A lost, corrupt, and vacant soul

Vacancies
the coastal train began to slow
as two tracks merged together
it stopped at the end of a single line
in freezing winter weather.
the arrow on the 'way out' sign
led me through a covered hall
but my ticket proving I had paid
was never checked at all.
I walked downhill towards the sea
and left behind the train
motionless at its terminus
and

his fingers
tracing
the edges
of my existence
his every breath
rising with
anticipation
in whispers
against flesh
my pulse
racing
against

And those

Vacancies Available....
Blades of grass have overgrown
like multipliers from wild seed
yonder vacant lot once owned
forgotten now no more in need
Time well spent in distant past
patrons all in manicured cultivation
just a passing fad that didn't last
left now in limbo's gripped starvation
Signage offer announcement avail

abandoned now too dusty winds
