Inconsistent rings of swinging doorways;
partially opened street lamps upon boulevards
Sketchpads filled with illegible languages and
half starved craters submerged underneath partial
eaten sandwiches
Theorems lying beyond Main Street tunes as crackled
tones stare ringing….
No one home

The images you painted in this Rae were those that I could really see. I mean, everyone could take this poem & put it into their own context. I love that.
The ending tied it up nicely & I did read it a few times to make sure I got it. You do write in a crazy abstract way, which sometimes I find tough to crack/find my own meaning to.
None the less, I know you have talent as showcased here & here's the link to the group. You're in. :]

You would not beleive the images this captured in my mind. The first lines took me to an neighborhood in St. Augustine and I could just not shake it the entire read, but this is outstanding.

fantastic imagery created in this one Rae.
I see empty streets, with scavengers of discarded buffet material the only life after the party, and hear dull dulcid tones from a distance.
You worked this one well.
(Just my imagination)
