Blue HouseA Poem by Danny RussellGlimpses into past sadnessBlue House Damp streets Clapboard houses Lost children on empty streets The tug of fear and loneliness Wretched souls, the walking dead Even fools are resurrected. Mama!? I can’t find my clothes. Love lost on heartless streets Rascal I miss you so! Muffled sobs and all are deaf. Dad, I need your help. Silence and rage. They’ve taken everything I have. When’s the sun coming up dad? Maybe never son. Is this all? Is this all? Nightmares are made of loneliness. Staring down empty streets and into Dim shops Scarecrows propped against cluttered counters Everything is damp. The rain doesn’t stop. They stole my car. How am I going to get home? Where is home? YMCA Staring out the window into lifeless streets Only the beasts are out at night. I’m coming home, sweetheart. I’m coming home. © 2020 Danny RussellAuthor's Note
