"A Working Mine"


“A Working Mine”

cji
11/26/17

Back in the Yukon hills
or maybe the Comstock
there are still working mines
but most long ago deserted
as owner had accreted
played out are the mines
leaving behind only a lock
left only ghost town frills;

Much the same everywhere
empty minds all played out
alcohol, drugs, emptiness
political correctness too
 gone are working minds true
holes/crevasses in darkness
screaming skeletons shout
but really does anyone care?
