The burning leaf crackles and goes out.
Remember to see the details and get it right.
The TV makes useless noise in the background.
Why didn't you close that door?
You would have been alone with crickets and a candle
On a cool windless night,
And it all seems pretty quiet.
Shhhhhhh............
Create your own breeze
And knock that hat off your head.
Weave between fallen leaves
And sewer drains.
Your stained hoodie will keep you warm tonight.
You wish wish to be away from all these people.
They are on their back porch too,
But they don't see you.
Crack the door.
Make it creek and screech.
Listen.....
Your backyard is not at ease,
But neither are you.
