white clouds

Blue mottled with black,
thick clouds clot above concrete—
right eye swollen shut.

damaged building interior

Junkie ghouls linger
near the Kmart sepulchre—
new necropolis.

Evening thunderstorm
floods an empty alleyway—
she drinks his stale tea.

Broken umbrella
sprouts from a metal trash bin;
drowning azaleas.
