Life and Breath unblessed street bare feet a fleshless shadow on the alleyway wall deprived degraded benumb inward emptiness longing for a bite even just just a crumb would be enough unblessed street bare feet express less skin and bones weakness endure alone straiten pain depleted veins unblessed street bare feet life and breath under born worth cry snuffed close the eyes wanting to feel alive in a time to survive Sheltering an ear whisper beyond means seemly out just for the hurting skin to the bones knowing to the lone dry eyes not much to see lonely cry within a sigh sheltering endless pain in a plentiful world an ear whisper through the alley ghostly ashes in the trash fingernails scraping in the dumpster for a mouse nibbling in the spoiling sheltering endless pain in a plentiful world an ear whisper a child staring at the chalkboard strain veins breathing weak enduring fatigue wishful for a bellyful sheltering endless pain in a plentiful world an ear whisper outsight in the moonlight dusk in in the footsteps tears in silence darkness settle in of many tells it all written on the wall sheltering endless pain in a plentiful world an ear whisper impose damned bare hand reach out for hand outs belittle muffle face without meaning to what ends sheltering endless pain in a plentiful world why Posted May 16, 2021
