Stagnation

by stanley-zakyich

An ecosystem found upon An outer crust of dust Inside abode without a lawn With tenant taming rust. Sitting stagnant, songs of stellar Sing sublime lines Through minds that remain in cellar, Never seeing the pines. Many stagnant years have passed, Detectives overdue, The body brought them all aghast, The stench, the dust, and view. An ecosystem found upon An outer crust of dust Inside abode without a lawn With tenant taming rust.

Notes

Themes of isolation and the inability to move forward in life.

A man gives up on his dreams and sits still, dreaming of better days and trying to make the best of his situation without taking any actions. This leads to his death, and with "detectives overdue", the apartment becomes caked in a thick layer of dust, sprouting insects, spiders, and other miscellaneous creatures that can thrive in that sort of environment.
