Gothic Scene

Beneath gas lamps 
black night skies 
to eary sounds 
of distant cries. 

We walk streets 
cobbled stones 
through darkened alleys' 
squalid zones. 

In candle light 
misery strains 
through smudged glass 
of dirty pains 

from lonely rooms 
in dancing light 
that calls out 
into the night. 

A lack of hope 
in darkened shame 
black of night 
in cold and rain 

drips from eaves 
to an icicle morning. 

Clear and cold 
and pointing down 
austere spikes 
hang down 

as rods or bars 
in front of pain class windows.
