Nebraska

not a car parked � �
on the dead-end street � �
it`s passage blocked � �
pot-holes too deep � �
on one side � �
a long defunct strip-mall � �
not enough traffic � �
for shop-owners to keep � �
across cracked concrete � �
a vacant lot � ��
adjacent � �
stands an abandoned building � �
holes in my pockets � �
I enter � �
to squat-adopt � �
an unfurnished flat � �
cupboards bare � �
no unwanted � �
creepy critters there � �
barren mail box � �
keys lost for rusty lock � �
as far as I`m concerned � �
I may as well � �
be sequestered � �
cloistered � �
in Nebraska � �
a term Ive not spoken, � �
heard or thought about � �
since I was small � �
hasnt been a place � �
since prodded � �
to locate it � �
on a two dimensional map � �
not a cloud � �
in the sky � �
if only I could � �
dim the colors � �
flashing across � �
closed eyes

"as far as I`m concerned
I`m sequestered
cloistered
in Nebraska"<-- You make Nebraska worth visiting, just to see this picture you've painted!
Very lovely picture by the way...:) xo
