steep


the sound remains
perhaps of a bottle
or bone,
the marrow drained
keeps me interested,
just not for very long
before i must find a new bone
or bottle 
with contents 
left to drain

the question:
"how do you find this draining?"
is not only confusing 
on several levels 
but also seems to answer itself

an empty building soon falls
into disarray 
and is condemned,
to be torn down 
and replaced by an empty building
or as remains, empty and condemned
as a playground for mice
and unsatisfied children
and stumblers without alternatives 
as remains, not as empty as it seems,
not condemned by all
and in a constant state of decay

there is no day...
the one where absence 
left you alone
to live through 
the eyes of memory
to constantly see through 
the lens of hell

what is a river
where did we cross
and can we go back
