Morning at Wineva

Morning at Wineva

Fetid squalor
Food rotting on kitchen counters
Empty cans and garbage strewn about the floor
Memories of a party not long past

Sunlight
Oozing in through grease caked windows
Shines on gaping holes in lath and plaster walls

Garbage
Piled in the back alley
Maked food for a racoon that calls that place his home

People
Stirring to the sounds of morning
Rise to greet their cherry dawn
