rain falls
abandoned

cacophony
(stepping back)
soiled diapers

the smell
human piss
stepping further

further further
back, looking up
into what

looking back
into what
into once

into when
looking back
seeing

  Thanks Mery, it’s a lovely old building. A shame it is being used as a rubbish dump and toilet. xx
