Morning After, Night Before

What is the sound the wind speaks, slightly melodic,
tinny wind chime with rusty crust squeaks, can’t compete.
Chocolate wrappers on the floor, many rum and cokes
beer and smokes, elucidate the night before.
Music playing, too loud to ignore.

Torn brittle wire, hinges like rusting fingers,
old wire door malingers, warped, twisted, unprotected.
It shudders, slams, wind blows chocolate wrappers
like a twirling dervish show across the floor.
Music playing, too loud to ignore.

Pungent aroma wafting, reminisant of a meal uneaten.
Cigarette buts, air stifling, empty cans,tousled
clothing strewn across the floor,
arouse vague yet troubled memories of the night before.
Music playing, too loud to ignore.

Cockroaches, Ants, scurrying towards safety
burrowing in dust balls beneath the fridge door,
Chocolate wrappers give shelter to fatted insects,
helter skelter forming lines of mini tents marching
towards the door.
Music playing, too loud to ignore.
