A Dead man's Town.




This is not a town you would chose to be born in, not when the energy of new life is bursting through you; It’s a dead-man’s town.


Abandoned buildings and scared cats.


The frontier between then and now.


Ruined.


Forgotten.


Crumbling slowly into the sea where a single boat waits and watches.


But that same sea is the salvation; deep, clear, restorative.

Yes, the sea is the salvation. A fresh boosting poem.
