Game On - First Poem Back

The hiatus has ended, the results were unsatisfactory but it was a great learning experience. Stopping for so long has made my poetry muscles weak. Vanity muscles. Here's the latest poem to herald my return.

Deserted City

Thanks to you

I walked down the deserted alleyways

Below the seventh street bridge

To Kamo river

By grown over bikes

And abandoned parks

You always send me down roads

I'd never go myself

I met jogging homeless

Saw a man netfishing

In Kamo river

All he caught

Was a condom and tetanus

I wish you had stayed

At least another day

With me as I climbed

Past third street

Where people in gaily colored silk

Whitened belts and blackened clothes

Danced on the old cobblestones

Besides Kamo river
