Bricks and Mortar and a Little Light
There is pain
In the emptiness
I hail from the store on the avenue
Walking the streets
Stillness prevails
Wounded corner stores
FOR RENT SIGNS
SCREAM
It will be some time
Then
Rebirth
Little lights twinkle
Hope
Though distant and foreboding
In the emptiness
I hail from the store on the avenue
Walking the streets
Stillness prevails
Wounded corner stores
FOR RENT SIGNS
SCREAM
It will be some time
Then
Rebirth
Little lights twinkle
Hope
Though distant and foreboding

The image definitely put me in a 1950s type setting, the man walking in the night against the blowing wind in this place that looks destitute.

I dont know much about art and poetry. But id hang this in the ceiling above my bed and smoke a big ass blunt and trip on it all night. My first love and i used to sneak into an old abandoned house at the beach... before we knew how sex felt... This painting is similar to the view. Looking from inside out we could see the walkway lights. Cold dark and misty.
Best times of my life when all was innocently sweet.
Its amazing sir. You reminded me of my first love, and made me miss home. I remember lying to my parents bout where i was all night. This is perfect or me.

Re: Re. Bricks and Mortar and a Little Light
Those are my favorite colors too, I'm prone to darkness, sound familiar..... ?
Yes, cities will come back, especially this one. A new mayor in the fall too. I hope he will be better than our current one.
I thank you on your praise dark
Means a lot to me
Appreciate the RL add too 🖤

It also feels like it's in space, with those specs of light giving some hope in an otherwise dark background.
Well penned too sir.
