Could Be Anywhere...

a toy lays
upon the step
left in haste....can't reach it....
Voices loud again
screen slams hard
under porch hiding.

It's cool, dusty
a quiet place
with the spiders.
The world calm
the voices small
here; under, forgotten.

Far in back
dusty beer bottles
sharp, broken, blood.
It's ok, twilight
someone will notice
call the name.

No one comes
except the cold
jeans dirty, trouble.
Never come out
can't make me
I'll cut them.

Like this again
it's darker now
won't they call?
Haven't they noticed
will they ever
maybe a scream.

Like they do
yell, stomp, bleed
all over the place.                                
A toy lays
upon the step
left in haste.... can't reach it....

Don't remember if i have shared this before...i was going to put it in my new e-portfolio at http://tramppoet.homepage.com...but decided it

Star Trek Scottie kinda thang with the odd
signature and all...well anyway enough of this drivel
