Metropolitan Wilderness

Out in the wild

Where wily wolves wait

She walks alone

Glittering stars above

 

Her heels echoed with a hollow sorrow, bouncing off cold brick walls with longing, sound waves bleeding down the empty streets, a call of loneliness to anyone willing to hear the noise.

 

In the fields of fall

Where forward foxes frolic

She feels eyes

Following from shadows

 

Her mind created noise in the otherwise silent surroundings, distracting from the obvious possible danger, catastrophic thoughts pushed and fought for attention, craving to be noticed.

 

In the desolate city

Where devious demons dwell

She realizes truth

Swarming all around

 

Her life was a world ablaze running out of fuel to feed on, a light bulb flickering on faulty wiring, Morse code messages hidden all around, subtle hints spelling out a cry for help.
