all the dead winds

ordinary rustling
amongst the vipers
and cracked leaves

oak limbs
and crushed sparrows
line the deserted side streets
that no one dare navigate
light sockets
listless and dark
observe the silence
without casting
shadows

soda cans jingle
across broken asphalt
pressed lazily
by the dead winds
left in the wake
of the storm

the milk is turning
the thermostat is rising
the lines
are dead
the worst
is slow
in coming
