The dead faces

Look around you,

at the dead faces;

hollowed-out eyes,

empty, open mouth;

broken visage of a human being,

far removed from their soul.

 

Satellites drifting,

in lifeless space,

occasionally banging,

against something,

occasionally, someone.

 

No connection,

no meaning,

no passion,

to be kindled.

 

The lost years,

in full swing.

 

Look around you,

at the dead faces.

  1. There’s a certain sadness exasperated by it occurring in my town of only about 160,000, but the big cities like LA definitely seem rife with it.
