Dreams Like Warehouse Windows

Your life set aside
like an unfinished painting
or a half baked poem
and you are vaguely concerned that
there are more days behind you
than in front
and when you ponder the hours and the
weeks and the wasted years
there is a bitterness
you have never known before
the unwritten novel of your heart
left in some forgotten
ally of your soul
where some punk kid
throws rocks through your abandoned
dreams like warehouse windows
your days spent in fear
of some nameless
formless thing
that dogs your hours
and haunts your sleep
all your time spent wondering
when it will trace the trail
of blood back to the
place in your dreams
where you hide.
