The bark of dog

The bark of dog

Between
Newtown cinema
And 
Crumply bookshop, 
People look 
For 
Poets 
Like
Plath 
In these narrow alleys
Cripples  and 
Alcoholics 
Lived and
Died, 
This
Spaceless abode of
Peeling Victorian terraces,
All
Squeezed in
And 
Out of these
Ruins 
One hears God
Or
The bark
Of 
Dog

Wow JAI MASTERS!!.....I love the simplistic melancholy of this piece..... and the dark references ~ Crumple bookshop, Plath, Cripples and alcoholics, peeling Victorian terraces...... all working together to create a haunting scene, that for me could be, straight out of Dickens!!.....ALL STARS!!...... Love it my friend!!.......T xo
