Pig Iron

Stale Life

Pig Iron

Grayscale life
Stale cardboard bread
Lonely nights and years
In a barren double bed
Β 

Penicillin dust
Lines a heavy chest
Cholesterol, palpitations
Lipid level function tests

Morose Mondays
Robotic ragemes
Jaundiced skin
Decaying dreamsΒ 

Mildew eyeballsΒ 
Cast a sour stare
Piercing the haze
Of electric blue air

Creaking joints
Fading looks
Granet heels carved from
Ill fitting safety boots

With cold clay
A soul was environedΒ 
Forging rhymes
From cold pig iron

Thank you so much for your kind comment Tony. As you know I'm not good at leaving constructive meaningful comments myself...I find it hard enough to write. My thoughts are often like an open diary....that's where my sporadic inspiration comes from and its also why I use an alias.
Thanks for stopping by my page. You're comments are always greatly appreciated.
Love and rocketsΒ  - Syd xoΒ
