26,27,28

26.

graveyard of broken dreams

rusted hulks of vehicles rise,
like tombstones amid overgrown weeds,
projects unfinished, going to seed.
frustrated goals silent screams

disappointments, designs undrawn,
forgotten fantasies, treasures pawned
opportunities come and gone,
when they knocked,no one was home.

depression, no motivation
illness, poverty, desperation.
suffering souls, deprivation.
lost ambition, no salvation.

death's shadow lingers here
longs to complete the devastation.

27.

walk on me

I am tired
of being a doormat.
every day
new feet
dirty, stinking
big and 
hairy
boots and 
stillettoes

they all want
the same thing.
they walk 
on me
break my back
expect me 
to clean 
the mess
they made

then they leave.
never looking
back
never considering what 
it's like
to be a door mat.
used by all
loved by none

alone in the end.

28.
our walk is circuituous,
our work is arduous
our waking is spontaneous,
yet...
we wake
we walk
we work 
we return.
