Day 143 of the 365 day poem challenge.
Word of the day Subjugate meaning: "bring under domination or control, especially by conquest."
Autumn Town
There is blue and light and sound
There are harbours of rats
And hills sketched by decadence
Steam plumes rise and Stretch
Ethereal across the dark tracks of sky
Bewitching emerald sea
From the peaks of the noble ones
The "higher ups"
The houses are stiff and square here with strong jaws and solid bones
The bean pole teetering peddler
Vans along the harbour promenade
Are derelict and disposable
While the suburbs behind stretch uncounted with the sewage and refuse of those nearby spilling in and over
The squat dwellings with their sharp v-lines know snow
And also violence
Through intoxication
Occasionally through subjugation and incantation
Myriad of folk find their way here
But none than the higher-ups have a way here
One can get lost here
One can fall so far here
One can rewrite their story here
