yesterday colors

just a blend of morning
and night
with streetlight buttons

some missing
others ready to fall
to dark street empty

the siren talks
to dog bark voices
telling them how

dead men sleep
under the ground
with their spirit wallets

empty of soul
I hear the dogs
play howl fret songs

with their toe click picking
of sidewalk guitars
out of tuned to derge

by acne brick hands
of alleys where trashcans
hold mostly memories

Intense stuff OWG, the images so stirring.  Again, I am stunned by your incredible writing talents...*s*

On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.
