Islands

i feel lost
without cause and without cost
the foreclosed lots and locked up shops
remind me of my childhood
and as the neighborhood declines
i recline and open one more box of wine, cryin
the sad shine of sunsets like the mane of a lion
the mad drive of success plucked out like a violin
violence, trials and people like islands
adrift in the ocean, waiting for the sky's end

Tiny Islands
