Desolate Nights
My nights are spent
in chilling fright.
The sounds hum
over the excitement.
I look beyond…
to find awareness
outside the misty
windows.
I hear sirens, birds wildly swaying,
crying, whispers of horror and
gore and crimes of hatred.
I’m not far from the sounds.
They are right near me in the
walls.
They are hollering, wailing,
punching…
Where are the music,
the love tales, the parties?
I’ve disassociated myself
from them.
I live in fright
from night to night.
The mockingbird
is at my perch…
mocking me…
