A city and its river

Barges transport household refuse,

merchant banker’s facade lights shimmer,

bloated fish gorge,

unperturbed the river flows,

Cold peace

I am no more, tonight fish eat flesh

Stepping blocks to oblivion

They will not leave flowers, or mark my passing.

I am already a fading memory.

Forlorn figure

No one notices me, nor cares if I live or die.

I am alone, the choice is mine.

Abject dejection

There is no meaning to life, no purpose, reward, punishment, there is now then nothing.

Despair

Everything is dark, unclear I see no future for me.
