I look around me,

Why is everything so grim?

This austere landscape

Without shape,

Disheartens me.

On a whim,

I took the first coach out

Paid the fare to nowhere,

I didn't care.

People come and go

No one to know,

No one to bother.

I am but a stranger

In this alien place.

I slow down my pace.

My bleeding feet buried in sand

I watch the white gulls

Twirling in the skies colour venom

And I resent their freedom.
