Leaking down the side,
buildings melt
inside walls.
Mocking  drug
induced families
under ceilings
among red,
glazed eyes.
Kites fly,
and green grass snaps
under a stiff
shoe.

Sewage
creeps from beneath
the field where kids play.
Geese, in V formation.
Leaves drift to the
yellow grass. Souls
forsaken by time.

Fenced in field
Surrounded by brick
rising, expanding
into the past
thirty years.
The building is leaking
and still
rising.
