ancient eyes and
soured skin
fouled by smoke
and sulphur,
faded, dull
flower
drained of colour
precious to few
expendable to
most
powerless to dictate
life’s direction
treading a long
road
unkind beneath
tired feet
head down
heart heavy
even the birds
don’t sing
the monsters
from
under the bed
now hunt in
daylight
