Sunset

walking as the sun set
sour buildings surrounding
no doors in sight
along crumbling sidewalks
making music as they fall apart
under my letters dropped
breadcrumbs to keep my path

walking as the sun set
river of asphalt to keep me warm
my nature mangled
trapped between dusk and dawn
along crumbling mud
shouting obscenities as it washed away
under my ink flow
bleed from wounds I slashed

walking as the sun set
left to find new
far from the burning buildings
fled from when I decided
done with this journey

walking as the sun set
