Letter from Hell

The last I remember,
it was a gray winter Sunday.

I look outside 
my dirty window
at the empty branches
of a dead tree.

The afternoon is late
but never ending.

I walk down the empty street
in the shadows of buildings
that resemble broken,
decaying teeth.

Night will never fall
and no matter how long
I wander these sidewalks
to tire myself out,
I know that I will never
sleep again.

Wish you were here. - Jeff Barnes
