multi-billion price-tags
where are the neighbours
it feels like a graveyard
no one outside, tying up
untidy bean stalks
against the Bay winds
no more music, no
open doors, windows
there used to be smoke,
the promise of BBQs
intermittent hammering
where are the painters,
the old ladders
brought out, once more,
to paint the roofs, red
lovely, the dormitory suburb, sad
ReplyDeletethanks.. it's sad to see the older Bayside suburbs so deserted!
