Growing lonely in the damp dark

Walk slowly on soaked slate concrete

Cool wind rustles the leaves

My whistle carries down empty paths

Haunted with mailboxes and garbage cans

Wondering why we live here at all

Strangers pass in the glare of headlamps

Animals with shelters drug up from the earth

Gliding dazed through moribund lives

Never looking down at the small stones

Scarred of the empty streets

My pocket shakes and rings

Kicking rocks into dull culverts

Wishing it was warmer

Talking about the sky

And I am walking home
