D.A. ASH

Home Sweet Homage
The drifter stared at the ground,
thought about food and crossed the street
believing that it could not rain again
as it had for 33 years and 10 nights.

His world had become someone elses,
he thought to himself as he drifted up
the street into another scene not of his
making and then the junkies approached.

Mothers milk ran through his mind
as it raced down the corridor of his past
defining and denying him the future
he was certain existed somewhere for him.

A junkie brushed up to him and muttered,
"Horse", and wandered by with a furtive glance,
he looked past him into the dying sun
slowly being consumed by clouds.

The rooming houses started to pile up
at his end of the block and there
just above the sewer drain was the sliver
of window he used for light in the night.

He slipped the key into the lock and
disappeared into what was his life.
