Wasted Wealth - Mount Eerie

Grappling uneasily with memory

I sing song to make it clear

If a building is my mind being hollowed out

Many stories, many rooms

Then I’m an aging shell propped up in slow decay

Forgetting all I had too soon

Lost wisdom

Roaring in the traffic

Under looming tombstone sign

Summoning memory

Did something start here?

Wild salmon in the reeds

Glowing flooring was sleeping under trees

From business experiment to living place

Built on darkness blossoming

White stag, rare and alone and dead

In the wrong place at home

Grappling uneasily with wasted wealth

A tall memorial shines
