Photo: a derelict steam engine cab, outside the Gwalia Museum.
A macabre vision irrupts the scene
of rust and rotting plaster
a sombre funeral for the eyes
deposited for all to see
cast off, derelict,
left for dead,
as if nothing really counts,
and, as with metal,
or with plaster
one might say,
so with flesh and blood,
when we disregard each other.

Powerful on so many levels. For me, it conjures up “The Wall” in all its disregard for humanity…

Ah yes, The Wall, such a great modern icon for disregard (and including Pink Floyd’s observations), thank you so much for sharing.
