Long Since Vacated

Whilst walking with an old friend
down the ill-worn side streets
our temperament has long since vacated.
Struck by the harshness
and strangled silence, that
has descended on old times.
We observe lousy pigeons plashing in
gutters brimming with drainage.
By this scene; cruelly exposed.
My whole heart contracting with dread
my whole heart mortgaged,
mortgaged, to a respectable identity,
a national flag, a wedding certificate.
Through the rippling curtains a stray wind
carries the sounds of adolescent laughter.
Even the summers have become cruel now.
Catching out awkwardly
at a young womans eyes
this alone is enough
to disturb her
serene expression
reminding you,
you only ever
pant after a jog
and your wife
only ever moans
over utility bills.
