Blurred and misty photograph of man standing in devastation.



Decay

Man stands in the misted waste,
the ghosts of trees merging with the gloom,
a forest, long departed,
phantom shadows of the past.

In the grey dust of crumbling concrete
the bones of buildings long gone
the urban jungle withered and spent
yet man still standing.
