No One Survives
It's the wartorn pedestrian
whose tears fall on the
heart's side streets.
Veins of regret that curl
the same pain. It's not
the sorrow that hurts, it's
the gullibility of time's
unlearn-ed lessons.
The old suffer
most. The pandemic
of hope again in
the release of
lyrics left long ago.
The letdown lisps
it's own goodbye, prefigured
in the drawl of soft sighs.
Goodbye is muted
and falls to the floor.
It sinks to the power
of your poetry.
