POETRY REHAB 101
.
RUBBISH
.
Discarded
Put aside
No longer wanted, tossed
Alone
Across a pile of the broken
The outdated, the spoiled
.
Left to mingle and slide
Deep into the stench
Pawed over by claws
Food for the unbidden
The hidden hordes
Spiders, beetles, millipedes and roaches
.
Decay descends
Pieces split away
Slime grows white, green and black
Rain dissolves the remains
Washes away anything
To prove I existed
