Abandoned
at a place
that is shunned;
even by the homeless
and other street litter

i am sorry to hear about your relative...shunning is hard stuff when felt for sure....interesting on the lack of trash...
ReplyDeleteHope is a sad thing to loose or abandon....this is a powerful piece Stafford....I hope that hope returns for your relative.
ReplyDeleteStreet litter homeless? How harsh can you get? lol
ReplyDeleteIts difficult to understand someone elses depth of despair - very moving piece Stafford.
ReplyDeleteYour heartbreak is felt in so few words.
ReplyDeleteIt is sad to be shunned and abandoned and not able to do anything about it. A dilemma for old parents if they are not careful!

ReplyDeletePerfect title for a sad poem about a slice of life in our imperfect world. Doesn't stop me from wishing perfect peace for your relative, and all those who are seen as detritus on the streets in the cities of our world.
ReplyDeleteYou have captured its essence completely. Very well said.
ReplyDeleteSad indeed. I do so hope your relative regains hope.

OMG!! shunned even by the homeless!!
ReplyDeleteUnquestionably consider that which you stated.
ReplyDeleteYour favorite justification appeared to be at the internet the simplest thing to bear in mind of.
I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while other folks consider worries that they plainly don't know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and outlined out the whole thing with no need side effect , people could take a signal. Will probably be again to get more. Thanks
