withered by the sun
hiding under thatched rooftop
a shadow of faith
Shadow Of Faith
Imperial Hotel
over on main street
where the neon sign burned out
crumbling walls linger
Timeworn And Terrifying
bars rust in silence
boarded windows trap the light
timeworn, still haunting
Topless In Town
roofless hut finds grace
apalachicola town
palm trees and sunshine
Roosters For Sale
feathers bright and bold
roosters for sale, stories told
cock-a-doodle-doo
Southern Gothic II
whispering oak trees
shadows dance ‘neath worn porch boards
southern secrets sleep
On Taylor Road
sharecropper cabin
time’s touch etched on every plank
whispers of the past
Empty Storefront
paths left behind fade
silent phones and empty chairs
new roads to be paved
Web Space
a scaffold building
spider orbits his web space
this autumn evening
Sopchoppy Florida
awakened by sound
from worm grunting festival
life as fishing bait
Restoration Play
downtown theatre
performs restoration play
true life center stage
Tiny House
if not woodpecker
tapping on old oak, no sound
at the tiny house
Heartbreak Hotel
rooms available
where you do not want to be
the heartbreak hotel
A Lonesome City
drifting clouds descend
a quiet lonesome city
empty brick boxes
Leadfoot Lizzy
running up and down
and hiding from fat cat joe
leadfoot lizzy lulls
Southern Gothic
echoes from geckos
revivals, southern bibles
overgrown tombstones
Satellite Inn
high-speed internet
for wandering satellites
refuge from the road
Empty Porch Chair
the old windmill spins
as howling westwinds rush by
an empty porch chair
