Aberdeen

Dusty streets lined with trees 
and dry water channels
petrified veins in the scorching sun

The large stately homes
hinting at a more favourable era
Shells of buildings filled with 
memories of farmers’ markets 
and ghosts of Jewish pedlars

Monuments of rubble and decay
to drunken street kids 
and tumbleweeds.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed day.
