A tall green house

On the edge of the square

Three top windows as eyes

Look on us in judgement

A balcony squashed between

Modern monstrosity

Pushing up seeking the sun

As we seek solace

In this anonymous city

 

I liken your wasted mind

To that corner pub

Dark panelled wood

Etched and knocked with emotion

Holds history behind

A half drunk pint

You stare into space

Dusty lights hang low

And the shadow of a memory

Will remain cast on your heart
