And To Keep His Eyes Open He Sits With a Newspaper Quietly

The town has a hollow sound
This morning;
The firing of spark plugs
And the whispers of birds
Echo from tin buildings;
Footsteps fall on slate pavement.

Where has gone the solid world 'neath our feet?

Ah, but the sun rises and sets quietly
Upon the world of the ubiquitous dead.

  • The Sun Was Quietly Setting While I Read Your Poem....pure Beauty
    It doesnt hurt.... when I bleed
    but memories...they eat me
    I've seen it all before,...
    bring it on cause I'm no victim.

    you so cleverly captured that most elusive of feelings - emptiness.....such a diffiucult feeling to describe......but your poem is almost oriental in its ability to say very much with not too many words.......I am as always, very impressed......I write volumes about my varying passions, but can't evoke as much as you do.......you're a fine poet Groove :)
    ....they're asking me to prove why I should be allowed to stay with my baby in Australia, because I'm mentally ill......and they think I should leave......

    And you, as always, are more kind than you have to be. :)
