The gray opportunities have
presented themselves empty.
A lone stop light blinks
slowly in the rain.
The mine caves in with
the sound of crashing waves.
Pillars are set against a lighted
wall and cast no shadow.
A blood red moon sneaks
around half-shot buildings.
Mad lost souls malinger
on cracked, broken pavement.
A beacon in the shape of a
bar light flashes through.
The smoke clears revealing
renewal… one glass at a time.

Love this…I’ve only just discovered your work (exciting for me because it means I have lots of new poetry to read) and it’s quire beautiful. Darkly beautiful. Self-awareness that is deep and haunting and refuses to give in to inane statements of feelings. So glad I found it.
