Yesterday I saw the sun,
tonight I see the stars.

Inhale.
Exhale.
Cigarette butts,
pylons
and concrete bricks.
Ivy on old fences,
basketball hoop,
abandoned ladder,
tulip embossed lime green watering can,
potted geraniums,
forgotten fish tank,
a hose slinking to the grass
overgrown.

Dead leaves,
thriving weeds,
tree trunk
cut from a friend
no longer there.

Inhale.
Exhale,
final drag.
Out.
Tossed,
lies next to a crack
of days passed.
Toss and add to the mess.
Memories gained,
staring,
thinking,
crying,
remembering
days gone passed.
